Mr. Anderson was born March 6, 1933 in Willard, the son of Homer Eugene and Zulla Alice (Franklin) Anderson. He was united in marriage to Ruth Louise Kennedy on December 23, 1954 in Humansville. Henry was employed at Mid-Am Dairymen Incorporated. Henry retired after 32 years with the company. Henry served faithfully as an usher and a greeter welcoming worshipers to Tatum Chapel Baptist Church. Henry served proudly in the Army from February 1953 to January 1956. He often spoke of his service time, particularly his time in Germany and Austria. Henry loved taking care of his yard and doing gardening. Henry also loved to take us kids when we were younger fishing, falling asleep on the creek bank and letting the snapping turtle run off with the string of fish we had caught!

Henry is survived by his sister-in-law Jean Kennedy; a brother-in-law and his wife Norman T. and Linda Kennedy; two sons and their wives Rocket and Shirley Anderson and Mark and Jacki Anderson; a daughter and her husband Brenda and Mark Hall; six grandchildren; and thirteen great-grandchildren.
