TR Anderson passed away this morning. He will be buried in Florida at Bushnell (Florida National Cemetery).
His wife called me this afternoon. I Hope to get more details soon.
Richard was my childhood friend ... we played organized baseball together at Benny Babcock Park where our team was Park champions and Hialeah City Champions. We were also in the Boy Scouts together where we were young Eagle Scouts along with David Shtopshire. We were always together as teenagers.
When I moved down south I reconnected with Richard ... he must have picked up the TR name in the military... he was always Richard to me. Richard was a good human being and I will miss him. He was my good friend.
Richard (TR) and me.
To his wife and family ... I am sorry for your loss !

This news breaks my heart. I hadn't heard from Richard in a while and was worried, but I never imagined this. He was one of my best friends as he dated one of my best friends. He was always fun to be around and a real gentleman. My prayers and condoleces go out to Eileen and his daughters and of course his Dad. God bless you Richard. You will be forever missed.
