Hal Anderson Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Hal Anderson, adored friend, father and brother, was born on November 14, 1935. He is loved by friends and neighbors for his witty and spunky personality. Although Hal was legally blind for most of his life, that didn’t stop him living a full and active life. He is well known in his neighborhood for always lending a helping hand and having an endless list of funny jokes and stories. If Hal wasn’t spending time enjoying the outdoors, he would be in his room shining his shoes and watching the Andy Griffith Show. He was always well dressed with shoes shined for his daily trip to the mailbox. He passed away peacefully in his home on the morning of April 20, 2017 after a short, but brave battle with cancer. He never let his battle dull his spirit and maintained his positive outlook and sense of humor until the end. He is survived by his three children, one whom he liked, and the other two who drove him absolutely crazy (in a loving sort of way). He will be greatly missed by his friends and family, and his loving pet companion, Buddy. His family would like to extend a special thank-you to Wendy and the loving staff at Brighton Home Health and Hospice. Wendy will forever hold a special place in our hearts for her compassion and loving care of Hal. He greatly enjoyed his talks with her and loved to make her laugh. Hal is finally with LaRae, his wife and sweetheart of over 50 years.
