learning about history. Anderson also had a deep love for music and was a talented singer. His family will always cherish the memories of him singing “Cry On” by Commissioned. Anderson had the mind of a philosopher with a heart of gold. He was one of the most intelligent people you could ever meet. If you knew Anderson, you were sure to learn something from him, about him, about yourself, or how to learn.

He loved to show his love to his beloved wife, family, and his entire community. Anderson was a bright light in this world and he will be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.

Anderson was preceded in death by his father, and his sisters, Berlinda Ford, Elna Williams, and Renee Williams.

The big question of Anderson was the “why Paul question?”
