Eugene L. Anderson, Sr., known as Gene, Daddy & Papa, was born September 7, 1942, in Montour Falls, New York. He passed away at Lakeland Regional Health on September 3, 2021.
Gene moved to Florida with his family when he was 15 years old. He married the love of his life, Reba Anderson on April 21, 1967. They were married for 54 years. He had a love for racing for over 60 years. It all started with stock cars with his brothers in his early years. Later, Gene, Reba, and his boys Rinky & Ritchie started racing go-karts, and after many years, progressed to Super Late Models. Gene was the motor builder, a big supporter, and their number one fan. Gene was always involved with helping his boys and then all his grandchildren with racing. Every one of them has had a Papa-built motor.
Gene's love for his family was unconditional. We are honored to have had such a wonderful person to be a part of our life. We will miss him dearly and pray one day we will see him again.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Elaine & George Anderson; and his brother, Ronnie. Gene is survived by his wife, Reba; son, Eugene L., Jr. "Rinky" and daughter in law, Andrea, son, Ronald "Ritchie" and daughter in law, Robin; grandchildren, Brandon (Destiny), Matthew, and fiance Kaylee Litteral, Alexa and Kendall; great-grandchild, Harper; brothers, Jimmy, Charles and Gary; sister, Dawn Hartsuff.
Graveside services will be Friday, September 10th, 2021 at 10 AM at Oak Hill Burial Park, Lakeland, FL.
