Marlin Dale Anderson, River Heights Utah passed away on May 31, 2008.
I was born June 10, 1938 to John and Alta Anderson in Logan Utah. I grew up in Millville Utah. I remember the early part of my life, riding bikes with Michael and Val Jessop. We spent many hours swimming and hunting along the Blacksmith fork river. We thinned beets, picked beans, corn and potatoes. I stacked hay for two summers in Idaho and remember the relatives and fun times there.
At fifteen I met the love of my life Lurlene Bench whom I married on Valentines Day. We were married for 50 years. She passed away on February 25, 2006. We have two great kids Linda and Eddy.
I worked for Davy tree experts for nine years and during that time lived in many places Lewiston, Helena, Butte Montana and Vernal, Milford, Salt lake City and Logan Utah. We have lived in River Heights for 43 years. I worked for Logan City Light Dept. for 30 years and enjoyed many friendships through those years.
I have always enjoyed the outdoors hunting and fishing and spending time in the canyons with my family and friends. I will miss my children I wish to thank my son for the love and dedication to his mother and father and for taking care of us for so many years I will miss my granddaughter and I will miss my dog Gus.
Survived by Linda (Dennis) Maw, Woods Cross Utah, Eddy Anderson, River Heights Utah. Granddaughter, Rickie Lyn (Matthew) Smith, Ft Lauderdale, FL and one sister Sybil (Juneus) Campbell, sister-in-law Gwen Jessop, Logan, Utah, brother in law Frank (Eleanore) Bench, Denver, CO and many nieces and nephews. Preceded in death by parents and brothers John Jr. and Ramon Anderson.
I am ready to see my wife and family, all our dogs and cats and I hope there is a good fishing hole too.
