As John Gardner, who chairs the town's public works committee, says: Bob Anderson was not just a leader; he was a real hands-on public servant. When we had a rainstorm, he was out there cutting fallen trees and unplugging culverts. We may not see his like again. He will be greatly missed.

Always involved in the community, the Andersons were among the families founding Christ Church. Robert Anderson was ordained deacon in 1960 by then-Bishop James Pike, and remained a stalwart. Former neighbor Wil Patterson remembers, “He had a wonderful baritone speaking voice; he could be heard anywhere in the church.”
