      Howard Henry (HANK) Anderson-Dec.19, 1918-Oct.7, 2010.
      Dad was born in Rosetown in 1918 to Russ and Rosalba Anderson. He is survived
      by three sons- Grant (Brenda) of Rosetown, grandsons - Rob (Jackie) - Jordan
      and Abby of St. Albert, Alberta; Russ (Olivia)- Hayley, Clara, Maddy and Boyd of
      Rosetown, Sask., Scott (Cherie) of Unity, Sask; son- Laine (Claudia) of
      Rosetown; and son-Gregg (Diane)-Red Deer, Alberta; sisters-Jean Dobbie of
      Calgary, Alberta, Betty (Cliff) MacDonald of Saskatoon, Sask. and Leone (Doug)
      Hiller of Regina, Sask.; brother-Don (Wendy) Anderson of Rosetown, Sask.;
      sisters-in-law- Vi Hayes of Saskatoon, Sask. and Lois(Tom) Burt of Rosetown,
      Sask.; plus many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his wife -Myrt
      (1981), infant daughter-Gail, parents-Russell and Rosalba, step-mother- Evelyn,
      brother-Bob, brothers-in-law -Ray Hayes, Wally Hayes, Mel Hayes, and Doug
      Dobbie; and sisters-in-law -Doreen Larson and Shirley Miessener.
      Dad (Hank) farmed all his life. He and Mom (Myrt) worked together and laughed
      together. They had a mixed farm plus added a small abattoir for poultry to the farm
      in 1962 which they operated until 1971. He drove us all to sports countless days,
      keeping us involved in activities. He was an excellent softball pitcher and played
      with many local teams. He loved to fish and hunted all his life. He was always
      involved in the farm although to a much less extent in the past few years. He was
      always out to see what was going on in the fields and pastures riding on the
      combine right up to his last days. He witnessed the change from actual horse power
      to mechanized farming, from seeding with horses to air-drills. He was amazed by
      the size of today’s equipment and always compared them to multiple rounds with
      an 8 foot one way. He always watched the cattle and took great interest in the new
      born calves. He was always there to lend a helping hand to family, and neighbours
      throughout his life. He always called to check on what we were doing and was
      genuinely interested in what others were doing as well. He loved to visit with
      people-especially at the post office. He usually had a joke to tell. His driving
      slowed but never his desire to be out and active. He was very independent and did
      not want to be taken care of. He cooked countless combinations in his crock pot,
      sometimes we were afraid to ask what was in it. His death is the way he wanted itactive
      to the end.
      The family wants to extend a very sincere thank-you to the nurses, staff and Dr.
      Ernst who made his last days as comfortable as possible. Thank you to Pierre and
      Barb Charpentier for guidance and professional services and Reverend Hills and
      UCW for their services. Also a sincere thank you to those that took him fishing and
      kept an eye out for him making sure he didn’t get stuck on the ice. Finally, thanks
      to family and friends for the gifts of food, flowers and donations made in memory
      of Dad.
      Memorial service was held on Saturday, October 16, 2010 at 11:00 am at
      Rosetown United Church, Rosetown, Sask. with Reverend Jo-Ann Hills officiating.
      Hank’s sister Leone Hiller shared the eulogy. Pianist was Beth Robertson and
      soloist was Merla Walker. Ushers were nephews Russ MacDonald, Doug
      MacDonald and Gary Anderson. Interment took place at Roselawn Cemetery. The
      urn bearers were Hank’s grandsons Russ, Rob and Scott. Honorary bearers were
      “All who shared in Dad’s life”. Special thanks to Larry Slocombe for his
      numerous trips taking Dad fishing. Memorial donations in honour of Hank, may be
      directed to Rosetown & District Health Center Foundation.
