Carl broke a lot of molds-  wise beyond his years, kindly, sincere and ernest. The last time I saw him he was heading home after graduation. I could not imagine on that sunny graduation day in 1963  that he would not still be with us now. His passing is more than a reminder of my own mortality. The real sadness is in the untimely  loss of a truly decent man. I would love to know more about the remainder of his life. Alas, we went our separate ways, and now I cannot ask him.

Obituary for Carl Anderson

WESTMINSTER STATION -- Carl D. Anderson, 62, of Westminster Station, died unexpectedly at his home, from complications of emphysema on Monday, Oct. 8, 2007.

He was born and raised in Rye, NY, on March 29, 1945, son of C. AI/en and Ruth (Swan) Anderson. He had resided the past six years in Westminster Station, and had previously lived many years in Port Chester, N.Y.

Mr. Anderson graduated from the Mount Hermon School in Northfield, Mass., in 1963 and received his bachelor's degree in sociology from Cornell University in 1967.  He was a social worker in Toronto, Ontario, for 10 years before working with his father at C. Allen Anderson Carpentry in Rye, N.Y.  An avid rock collector, he enjoyed spending time with his dog, Sammi. 

He leaves his wife of 30 years, Rosemary (Boccia) Anderson; two sons, Oliver Anderson and Peter Anderson, both of Westminster Station; a daughter, Katharine Bricker and her husband, John of Saxtons River; a brother, Allen Anderson and his wife, Barbara of Rye; a niece, Thistle Cone of Baltimore, Md.; and a nephew, Timothy Anderson of Princeton, N.J.; and several other family members and friends.

Roommates Carl Anderson and David Baker were both great friends of everyone in Cottage 1 in 1959. I miss them both very much.

I knew his father before I knew Carl. He was a fine man and a master carpenter. Carl was on high honor roll freshman year and nobody tried harder, ran harder than he did on the soccer field. I admired him. He was a very decent and humble person. Rick Winsor

Carl roomed close to us on first floor of Crosley Hall and was a good friend. One Saturday afternoon, he took me out Lamplighter Dr. to a cow pasture that had a small creek running through. Carl brought his fly rod and said he could catch fish in the larger pools (I called them puddles). And he did - several of them. He let me try it for a while, and ever since then I've had the greatest respect for the complexities of fly fishing.

Carl was my roommate senior year in Hayden Hall, and remains to this day one of the all-time "good guys" of all I have known over these many years!  He was kind, funny, considerate, and always single-mindedly focused on the task at hand.  Who can forget Carl  freshman year rushing around campus with a huge old-style briefcase full of seemingly every book he owned.  He worked harder than anyone I ever met in all that he did, yet remained unassuming whenever he would earn high academic honors....insisting that he had to work harder "just to keep up with the rest of the guys".  He left everything out on the soccer field, running all over the place like a crazy guy, more than making up with effort for whatever he may have lacked in finesse (I can still see that image when I close my eyes).  I am truly saddened to learn of his passing; yet there's no doubt in my mind but that — with his huge heart — he was a wonderful social worker who impacted for good many, many people over the course of his lifetime, just as he did at Mt. Hermon.
