Mr. Gary L. Anderson

Anderson, Gary L., “Mr. A”, age 73, of Waterford, co-founder and co-owner of Anderson’s Corn Roast passed away unexpectedly at home on Monday, February 6, 2017. Gary was born February 24, 1943 in Door County, Wisconsin, the son of the late Lawrence and Sadie (nee. Charney) Anderson. He was a graduate of Gibraltar High School and then at age 20 he joined the military and proudly served his country in the United States Marine Corp. for 3 years.
After returning from the military he married Eileen M. Maleport in Milwaukee on October 3, 1970. The couple raised four daughters and lived in Milwaukee. They have been settled in Waterford since 1988. Gary and Eileen co-founded Anderson’s Corn Roast, a business they were both very proud to own and operate. Gary was very involved in Breweriana in Wisconsin, collecting and cherishing pre-prohibition Wisconsin Beer memorabilia. He was an avid Green Bay Packers Fan, whether it was watching games at home or enjoying games at Lambeau. Special moments include many playoff games, two Superbowls, climbing the goal posts after the Ice Bowl and attending several Badger Rose Bowl Games. Gary will be sadly missed by his family and friends.
He is survived by his loving wife Eileen, four Daughters: Kim (Bob) Hill, Pam (Steve) Kuehl, Brenda Anderson (Bob Hansen), Lynne (Craig) Lindsay; Grandchildren: Amber, Robby, Gary, Kellie, Samantha and Jaxson; one Sister: Joan Strege; three Nieces: Ginger (Rick) Sberna, Terri (Tom) Sculley and Linda (Ken) Pflugrad; and by other relatives and friends.
