Son of Elmer George Anderson and Judy Patricia Rains, grandson of John Wilford Rains and Theo Ennis Maxwell Rains, George Wilber Anderson and Marjorie Florence Cooper Anderson Beck. Uncle of Matthew Allen Marler.

John's mother was in labor with John on Christmas Eve and not wanting to miss Santa with his two older sisters their parents hurriedly opened gifts. His dad talked about this being one of two times (the younger two children's births) he was able to run all the red lights in San Francisco (with a Police escort for John's delivery.) John Walter was named after both grandfathers. He was loving called Baby John John by his sisters. It was said that John died from hemophilia but he died sick to his stomach, not bleeding. Years later his mom said with current knowledge that she thought he died from being poisoned by hexachlorophene. It was a very popular over the counter cleanser at the time and he was bathed in pHisoHex daily from birth.
