RIP
I started my Law Enforcement career in Harlingen many years ago. Chief Anderson was my first Chief and also the best Chief I ever had. I´ll always remember his words after being called into his office after I had done something dumb, " Antor you have to start being more discreet " I learned a lot from him and after 33 years in L. E. I owe a lot of my success to him.

Chief Anderson was my first boss in law enforcement and the years under him taught me how the rest of my years in law enforcement would be he was always a former marine and someone I could look up to semper fi

I was in high school with Guy and Marilyn. Guy went to the Marines and I went into the Army. I joined the police force in July 1956 and left in Sept, '59 to UT in Austin. We had a great bunch. John L. Guzman was chief, followed by Marshall Rousseau. Billy Magee was captain, detectives were Carlos Esparza and (?) Whitley. Lts. were Charlie Escobedo, Abe Lozano and Ray Shannon. Others were Skip Haislip, John Myers, my brother Manuel, Carlos Gracia, Crespin Trevino, Guy, Glen Eastin, Hector Gutierrez, Joe Martinez, Johnny Doster. There were others, but they didn't last too long. Guy's favorite time was around Christmas when my mom would make tamales for us. He just loved to dive into them. If I left someone out, I apologize. But from that bunch, I think I'm the last of the Mohicans! RIP, my friends.

My deepest condolences to Mr. Anderson´s family. I was one of his caregivers for almost 3 years he was like a grandfather to me. I never called him Mr. Anderson. I always called him. Grandpa working with him was a great pleasure. I´ll miss him. We had good times and we had bad, but the good times were the best. He always made me laugh. I enjoyed sitting with him and keeping him company.

My condolences to the Anderson family. I was a member of the Harlingen Police Department when Chief Anderson retired. We were all saddened to see him leave as we are now. He was a true leader and a friend. He was always "Chief".

I have great memories of chief Anderson and my dad who they love to hunt together. I served in the Kiwanis club with him for many years. Such a wonderful guy, RIP Guy.

I was a Harlingen police officer for 8 years beginning in 1978, a deputy sheriff for Burnet County for 4 years and finally a Houston police officer for 25 years. In all those years I can honestly say that Chief Anderson was certainly one of the very best superior officers I ever served under. Honest, firm, fair and reasonable. My sympathies to the family

Chief Anderson was a quiet, unassuming gentleman, and a true professional who always did what he thought was right. He leaves a lasting legacy in the law enforcement community.

Coach Anderson (as we knew him in the 70's) was our baseball coach. He had the patience of Jobe. Those were great years growing up in Harlingen. I recently returned from my 50 year HHS class reunion. Friday night was at Pendleton Park and I thought of coach then. RIP

Guy Anderson was the Harlingen Cheif of Police back in the 1970's while I was an officer on the PD. I always liked him and admired the fact that under him the dept was a very professional organization. He expected professional behavior from every officer.
