Roy Leonard Anderson Jr.

Funeral: 2 p.m. Sunday at Moore Funeral Home with visitation starting at 11 a.m. Interment: 10 a.m. Monday in Moore Memorial Gardens.

Born March 3, 1948, in Vincennes, Indiana, he was the only child of Georgia Rose Patheal and Roy Leonard Anderson Sr.

Roy joined the Phi Delta Theta fraternity at UTA and earned his bachelor's degree in 1971, remaining highly involved not only in the fraternity as Chapter Advisor UTA, but also in fund raisers, golf tournaments, the Boys and Girls Club of Arlington, and countless other endeavors. After retiring in 2011 from a 36-year long career at Alcon Laboratories, Roy continued to be active with Phi Delta Theta and he pursued various business ventures that kept him busy as if he had never retired. He liked being his own boss, with the power to decide whether to work or take a nap. He really enjoyed travelling with his family and dinners with friends.

Roy enjoyed stamp collecting, golf, watching sports on tv and driving through Starbucks to order Dewars on the rocks or a cheeseburger and fries --the barristas loved it. He always left people with a laugh and a smile. He enjoyed life to the fullest and he did it his way!

He was predeceased by both his parents.

Survivors: Roy is survived by his wife, Libby Walker Anderson; son, Roy "Andy" Leonard Anderson III (girlfriend, Christina Silva); daughter, Emily Elizabeth Anderson Killoran (husband, Anthony Killoran) and 172,000 brothers of Phi Delta Theta.
