Robert “Bob” Devers Anderson, age 80, of Covington, LA passed away on March 28, 2024. He was born on August 1, 1943, in Washington, D.C. to Dolores and William Anderson.
Bob spent 25 years with the Montgomery County Park Police, starting at such a “tender” age that he wasn’t allowed to carry a service weapon for a few months. He loved horses and he loved his work so it wasn’t long until he’d pestered his supervisors into agreeing to start a mounted unit. Great idea! It was and continues to be a great success. Bob is survived by his wife of 43 years, Barbara (nee Fortier).Also three children, his oldest daughter Hope Shelton, his middle child Joy Thompson, and his son Robert. Also survived by 4 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to Fidelis Residential Homecare, 4636 Sanford St, Metairie, Louisiana. 70006.
