Richard Arthur Anderson, 80, of Crookston, MN, died early Friday morning, September 23, 2011, in the RiverView Hospital in Crookston, with his family at his side.
Richard was born in Crookston on August 11, 1931; one of five children of Arthur and Kathryn (Regan) Anderson. He was baptized and confirmed in the Catholic faith and graduated from Cathedral High School. While playing for the school's hockey team, Richard was rated the best high school goalie in northern Minnesota in a 1949 coach's poll. He was united in marriage to LouAnn Marleau of Red Lake Falls on November 26, 1952. The couple first lived in Crookston before moving to East Grand Forks, MN. Richard studied accounting at Aaker Business College in Grand Forks and then worked for Schroeder Electric in East Grand Forks. They returned to Crookston where Richard was employed at the Northwest Regional Corrections Center until his retirement in 1996. In semi-retirement he worked for Greenview at the Fisher Landing site for five years. Throughout his life Richard was an avid fisherman and bowler, and enjoyed following his children's sports and watching sporting events. One of his very favorite pastimes was playing cards. He was a member of the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception parish and a longtime member and former secretary of Eagles Aerie #873. Richard will be very loving remembered and sadly missed by his beloved wife of fifty-eight years, LouAnn, and his six children, fifteen grandchildren, and seven great-grandchildren.
