Colonel Robert D. Anderson,

Thanks for everything that you did for all of us students and Civil Air Patrol members. You made a huge impact on a lot of our lives and we can never thank you enough. It's sad to know that you're not here with us anymore, but you'll be remembered by us for the rest of our lives.

He was a great man. He know how to make things fun and interesting. I will really miss him an keep him in my memories.

Goodbye my Dear Friend..... The time I spent with you made a significant difference in my life.  You helped me and my sons through some of the most traumatic and difficult moments of our lives.  I was honored to have your friendship and love and I thank Ruth for sharing you with me and so many, many others who needed you.  We will never forget you!

Col. Anderson was truly a very gentle man and he will be missed by so many people.  He always took interest in how you were and was never selfish, even to the end. RIP

I was so sad to learn of Bob's death.  He was neighbor and a childhood friend while we were growing up out in Kansas Settlement.  He and my sister Regina and I were always doing something together, especially during those long summer days and nights so long ago.  

I remember how much he loved airplanes.  The ceiling in his room was full of hanging model planes!  He was a good friend, a smart student and just an all around nice guy.  

My deepest sympathies go out to Ruth, Daniel and the grandchildren.  I'm so very sorry for your loss.

I haven't seen Bob since we graduated from high school.  We were great friends throughout our youth and through high school.  I always knew Bob would be a success in the AF.  In those years he wanted to be a fighter pilot.  I believe Bob was the Valedictorian of our senior class, and I always considered him the smartest guy I knew and a guy that would dominate and lead in  whatever he was taking on.  Our deepest heart felt symapathies to all of the family.  His impact and influence to all of those he touched will certainly live on forever. My wife and I will be out of the country the day of the service, so we are unable to attend, but our hearts will be with you...............

RIP it was great being able to talk to you earlier this year, you will be missed say hello to Joel for me up there !!

God Bless.  Bob was a great guy.  We will miss him in AZWG CAP.
Jean Hurley
