Allen D. Anderson

He loved automobiles and performed magic on engines that purred

with perfection after he applied his touch.

His autos were beautiful with no detail left to correct.

In his life, much like the cars he touched, there was a relentless passion to get the job done right, and the Brick Soccer Assoc. was no exception.The history of Brick Soccer will show his fingerprints everywhere from forming the Memorial Day Tournament (the largest on the east coast) to expanding the town's recreation program.

From the early '70's on Al Anderson touched the lives of countless young soccer players who enjoyed the playing opportunities he worked to ensure that Brick Soccer would be a success.

A great husband, father, grandfather, coach, and friend, Al was in a class by himself when it came to others.

He loved people in general and mastered every room he entered, commanding every situation he encountered.

Allen was predeceased by his parents Nils & Catherine Anderson and his siblings Evelyn, Doris, Joan, Peter, David and Michael. Surviving is his loving wife Joan Anderson (nee DeMedici); children Sharon Skurat and husband John, Tammy Anderson and wife Amy, Allen Anderson and wife Cheryl and David Anderson; grandchildren Daniel Anderson and wife Marie, Carl Skurat and wife Lauren, Kelly Anderson and wife Emily, Allison Skurat, Tyler Anderson, Gene, Tara, Shane and Alex Nappi; siblings Nils Anderson and wife Nancy, Donald Anderson and wife Doris, Patricia Hellergs and husband Bob and Margaret Taylor.
