Obituary of Richard A. Anderson

In loving memory of Richard A. Anderson, 83 of Ocala, Florida, passed away peacefully on Monday, September 13, 2021.

 

Richard was a proud and strong willed individual. Even though his life was burdened by muscular dystrophy, he was not a complainer. When it came down to wearing his enormously heavy shoes and braces, he always reminded himself and shared with all, that there were others far worse off.

 

His personal drive in life was greatly admired by all.  Richard retired in 1987 from a 35 year career with IBM in Fishkill, New York.

 

He is survived by his wife RoseMarie Anderson, brother Ed Anderson; son, Shawn Anderson, Shawn’s wife Julie and children Cortnie Talpas and Ashley Kasprzak of Virginia.  His son David Anderson of Daytona, Florida; daughter Colleen Ulickas, Colleen’s husband, Brian Ulickas Virginia and children Zachary Ulickas, Michigan, Samantha Ulickas, Texas and Nicole Ulickas, Virginia; great grandchildren, Grace, Anna, Austin, Callen, Weston, and Nolan.  Richard is preceded in death by his parents John and Mary Alice Anderson and brothers John, Jim, Bill, Ron, Jerry, and Bob.

 

We will miss him tremendously!
