Robert Alex Anderson

Robert Alex (Frank) Anderson, Bob, 84 passed away in his home surrounded by family on Saturday, May 27, 2023. He was born on January 6, 1939 to Hungarian and Norwegian immigrants, Walter Frank and Evelyn Larson.

Bob grew up in Chicago, IL. He had a difficult childhood but found The Lord and the Anderson family, who took him under their wing. He met his wife, Kathryn Earline Wooton, at church in Louisville, Kentucky. Once married, they settled in Fort Smith, Arkansas, to raise their family. Upon retirement from Mead Containers, he and Kathryn moved to the Searcy area near two of their grandchildren.

Bob loved The Lord and his family and the Chicago Bears football team...in that order. He was a faithful man.

Bob is survived by his wife of 58 years, Kathryn Anderson, his children, Joy Baker and Allen Anderson, and his grandchildren, Kathryn, Emily, Norah, and Fiona.

He was dearly loved and will be missed.
