Obituary of William Donald Anderson

William Anderson, or Bill as he was always known, passed away quietly at the age of 88
at his home in Roswell, Georgia. He is survived by his wife of 66 years, three sons, six
grandchildren and one great grandson. He was the fourth of five children. Growing up
in a farm family instilled in him a strong work ethic, which was reflected in all aspects of
his life. Bill was a devoted husband and father, a man of integrity, loving kindness and
Christian faith. He had a passion for farming, building and repairing things, the
outdoors, and instilling this diverse knowledge in his sons. Bill was an excellent host,
always conscious of the needs and interests of his guests. He was known for his quiet
manner and dry sense of humor. Ever since seeing planes fly over the fields when he
was a boy, Bill loved airplanes, so he became an engineer. He worked in the aviation
industry for 56 years and was recognized for his unsurpassed technical contributions
and industry leadership. Bill’s departure leaves a void in our hearts, but his legacy will
forever be cherished.
