The Andersons moved to Neva Lake exactly the same week that Chuck & I. We quickly became good neighbors, walked many a mile around the lake and woods together with our dogs and other neighbors. It fun to be a guest in their lake house. We were so fortunate to settle there for 21 years. Chuck and Barbara Anne Flynn
We will always remember the great times we had with your Dad & Mom at your annual Thanksgiving get-togethers. You have so many wonderful memories to sustain you now. Our thoughts & prayers are with you, and our love.
Ronald always wanted to make sure others had a good time at a party / card game / dinner / event. While appearing gruff, he really did like others and wanted to insure they were happy.
Dad, you will be sorely missed but not forgotten! Death ends a life, not a relationship.
