William Samuel Anderson, 77, went home to be with our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ on the morning of October 5, 2017, after bravely fighting Parkinson's disease for 19 years. Sam was born at home in Forsyth County, Georgia.
Sam was preceded in death by his parents, Robert (JW) Anderson and Jessie Staton Anderson, a nephew, Randy Coddington, and brother-in-law, Don Coddington.
Sam was survived by his wife of 55 years, Sheila , a son, a daughter, two sisters, a brother, and four grandchildren.
Sam served in the United States Air Force from 1958 till 1995, attaining the rank of Chief Master Sergeant.
Sam started going to church as a young boy in Duluth, Georgia, and he often talked about the youth groups that he was part of. He loved the Lord and wanted to tell everyone exactly who his higher power was. He loved First Baptist Church in Bastrop, Texas and he was especially proud of the groups he started there. Twelve steps for Christians was especially one of the classes he liked.
He enjoyed going on car trips with his wife, his kids, the dog, and a tent. He would throw a tablecloth on the hood of our station wagon and we had the best potted meat sandwiches and pork and beans. That was our picnic. We later started using cabins. He loved the woods and the pine trees. They were the same loblolly Pine trees that grew in Georgia. He raised rabbits as a young boy and even carried that over into adulthood. He later got a dog named Maggie whom he was very fond of.
He got interested in Genealogy and really enjoyed it. A lot of people (kin) in Georgia would invite him to their house to talk about it and feed him lunch and bake him a cake.
Funeral Service October 10, 2017, Bastrop Providence Chapel. Interment following with Military Honors at Fairview Cemetery.
