Walter John Anderson Sr. was my grandfather, but to me he was so much more than that; he was my friend. He was also an amazing Pop-Pop to five grandkids, TyShawn, Sincere, Amoree, Harmony and me, Maria. My Pop-Pop was a funny, lovable and a very good companion. He always made jokes and never ever failed to make me smile or laugh! He was amazing with animals, dogs were his favorite; he loved them! So many jokes me and him had will forever be in my heart and in my memory. Thank you so much for being the best Pop-Pop you could ever be! You are so loved and cherished, by so many people. I love you so much buddy!
