Memories and Condolences
for Donald Anderson

Not sure what to say?





Dear Ann & Joe:

I worked with Don at Tucker & Associates for six years. Don was always there to help me out and lend a hand when I needed it. I'll remember the good times we had at the Aunt Martha's Golf outing, too. But what I'll miss most is Don's oft-irreverent perspective on life and unfolding events. God Bless and God Speed.

I have many great memories of the fun times Don and I had growing up (and all the trouble we managed to get into together!). They will always bring a smile. Ann and Joe, our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Ann and Joe,
I cannot tell you how devastated I am to hear of Don's passing. When I lived in Illinois and worked at the Lake Co. Circuit Clerk's office, Don would stop by my desk every Tuesday and we would chat. We became quite the "Tuesday Talkers". I know he worshipped Joe with every ounce of his being and loved to take him everywhere. He was always so helpful to me and others, especially those who were in need of a lawyer and maybe could not afford the whole fee. He was always so cheerful and we discussed many things, especially our week to week discussion of the X-Files and the books we had read. He was a fine man and a good husband and father. For the people he touched, the world will be a sadder place without him, and I will never forget him.

Dear Ann & Joe,

I work at the Lake County Circuit Clerks Office & befriended Don many years ago. He was a great, great friend who I enjoyed talking too. If he had nothing to file, he would always stop & see me for a chat. He was a very good man & very generous. I was extremely saddened to hear he was sick & even more so to find out he has passed. I will miss him dearly & will never forget him. My prayers & thoughts are with you & Joe. If you need anything, please don't hesitate to contact me.
