William Harold Anderson Sr.

Bill was a proud United States Marine and Vietnam veteran who served two tours for his country. He was also a long time member of AmVets Post 9. In his younger days, you could find him on a ski slope in the winter or a sailboat in the summer. Later in his life you could find him at the drag strip either racing or supporting, closing down Disney World, dancing and singing karaoke, living life with a drink in his hand and most importantly, spending time with his whole family. Wild Bill was the life of the party who has always and will always continue to make everyone smile. He was a proud animal dad, who never wanted animals- until he brought one home and then it began.

He is survived by his wife Kathleen (Real) Anderson, his daughter Alena (Mile) Knezevic, his son William (Allison) Anderson II, his son Anthony (Morgan) Squire, his daughter Lauren Squire, his son Craig (Megan) Squire, his grandchildren Justin, Tristan, Hannah, Kelsey, Josie, AJ, Catherine, Aisley and Cannon.

He is also survived by his three siblings Charlene Westberg, Frank (Lori) Anderson and Vernon(Lisa) Anderson. He will be fondly remembered by Angelina, Alyssa, Gabriella and his entire Southeast Mechanical family.

He is preceded in death by his parents Frank and Audrey(Ragland) Anderson and his sister Dorothy.
