Anderson, Bobby R.
March 8, 1933 - August 1, 2006

Bobby was a professional golfer and longtime Chicago resident. He acquired a great passion for golf, which he pursued for 40 years. He played on the Negro Tour in the late 1950s and early 1960s, and, after the PGA Tour integrated in 1961, he competed for PGA tour cards for many years. He twice qualified for the Senior PGA Tour, and provided instruction to young golfers at the Columbus Park Golf Course.

Bobby is survived by his 12 children: Sidney, Marvin, Norman, Melvin, Audrey, Robert, Karan, Lawrence, Mark, April, Steven, and Crystal. He will be lovingly remembered by his long-time companion Lillian Dorris, brother Otis "Butch" Anderson, 10 grandchildren, and many friends and golf buddies.

Bobby was one for the ages, and will be sorely missed.
