Mr. Anthony T. Anderson passed away on Sunday, May 31, 2020 at Beaumont Hospital in Dearborn, Michigan. The world has lost a great husband, brother and father.
Tony was born July 6, 1946 in Inkster, Michigan, the son of Edward Anderson and Mamie (Glover) Coleman. He grew up in Inkster, graduating from Robichaud High School in 1964 and ultimately earning a master’s degree in Engineering from the University of Michigan in 1974.
In 1970, he married Alva (Baldwin) Anderson and that union produced two children – Aaron and Adrienne.
After divorcing in 1989, he married Melissa Fayall in 1999. Melissa had one daughter, Brittany, who Tony proudly raised as his own.
Tony was a well-rounded man who instilled the value of education to his children and loved math, science, jazz, and the University of Michigan, passionately following the football team each fall. He also enjoyed doing home improvement projects in his spare time as well as traveling the world with his wife Melissa. Prior to his retirement in 2005, he worked at Ford Motor Company for 37 years as an engineer, where he was granted a number of patents and had his work published in books.

Memories are Golden-Poem
They say memories are golden
well maybe that is true.
I never wanted memories,
I only wanted you.
A million times I’ve needed you,
a million times I’ve cried.
If love alone could have saved you
you never would have died.
In life I loved you dearly,
In death I love you still.
In my heart you hold a place
no one can ever fill.
If tears could build a stairway
and heartache make a lane,
I’d walk the path to heaven
to bring you back again.
