Born in Concord, MA, he was the son of the late Allan L. and Eirene (Wheeler) Anderson.

In 2004, he was honored by Wentworth Institute of Technology. He proudly served with the U.S. Navy during WWII in the Pacific Theater. He was an owner and operator of Knight, Bagge and Anderson of Boston. He enjoyed woodworking, golf and was a talented sketch artist. Bud was a rock for our entire family, each of us has leaned on him many times. He was a loving, gentle caring man who spoke with his heart and not his voice. He will be always alive in our hearts.

Hartford, CT, and Sean and his wife Amy Kierce of Canton, MA, a brother, Allan Anderson of Charlotte, VA, 13 grandchildren, five great grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.

Ann Marie, Mark, David, Bill, & Sean,
I remember Mr. Anderson as a kind, gentle, intelligent man. We all know, he had to have been to have won the hand of your golden-hearted Mom(Barbara). I have old memories of seeing your Dad, at your house on Wildwood St., when I would come over to visit with Bill. Like your Mom, he was welcoming & giving. A man of fewer words than smiles. His den/library smelled of great knowledge and accomplishment. It was the pleasant, creamy, smell of tobacco(with one or more nice wood pipes in view). In short, your Dad was cool! I appreciated all of you in the Anderson Family. You were great friends & neighbors!
Well…Farewell to, yet another, from the “Greatest Generation.” So glad to have known Bob Anderson. So sorry for your loss.
Sincerely, Rick Skehan & The Skehan Family
