Carla, my heart is breaking for you. I'm so sorry your going through this. We loved Doug and I have good memories of him bugging me. I wish Will was here to tell some of the stories he has told me over the years, but they would not be near as funny or as meaningful if I even tried. but then again maybe we don't. To the kids and grandkids, my heart breaks for each and every one of you for different reasons. First and foremost you lost the best man in the world to you three kids. To the grandkids you lost the best Grandpa anyone could ask for. I know what your going through, we have been through it twice. I won't ever tell you all that it will go away, but I can tell you in YOUR time it will get easier. There is no time limit on getting over a love one. just know I will always be here for any of you, no matter when you here and how. I send my deepest condolences and love to each of you. Sue

I first met Doug when I came to work for Harbor Truck Bodies in July of 1997. I worked there for a little over ten years but commuted from Northern California. I think I fell in love with Doug from the first day I met him. In some ways, he seemed to project a gruffness that was intended to let people know he meant business, but then that smile and his laughter would give it away. He was and is pure love to me. He knew that I loved him and that we shared a bond that was beyond just being a coworker. 

When I think of Doug now, all I see is his loving light. My memory is that he shared that wherever he went. He was cantankerous often, but I saw through all of that and he knew it. All I have for Doug is all the love in my heart and soul. I am so blessed to have had such a dinky part of enjoying his presence. Thank you, Doug, for all you brought to all of us who had the honor to share some time and space with you!

Words are so hard to express at a time like this but must be said for a person like Doug Anderson.  I have know Doug Anderson for 28 years.
i will always remember him with those coins in his hand and constantly turning them around.  His love for his family and work family.
His use of words and knowledge of work and the smile he always showed while twisting his mustache and what was that funny face only he & 
his grandson Eric could only do, funny stuff.
I will miss our morning work chats Doug.
Rest in Peace my friend and i will see you on the other side.




Looking at these pictures was a trip down memory lane. What a treasure of memories; I will always treasure Doug's smile; it was priceless! We feel your loss & know in our hearts Doug & his brothers are playing golf & eating hot dogs! We love you Carla & Family-keep strong.


My deepest sympathies to the family. May you find peace in this time. We love you. Uncle Allen Aunt Jeanette Roxanne and Ricky.

My Condolences to the family. I know its a great loss to lose Mr. Anderson. I met him only a couple of times but I can see why he was greatly loved by family and friends. May he rest in peace.
