Obituary from The Herald Journal (Logan, UT) - Saturday, October 5, 2002:
NORTH LOGAN - Melvin Joseph Anderson passed away peacefully at his home in North Logan, on Thursday, Oct. 3, 2002. He was born Feb. 14, 1927, to Charles and Lena Ida Sonderegger Anderson in Heber City. He married Annette Mahoney on June 16, 1955, in the Logan LDS Temple.
Dad loved life and did his best to get the most out of it. His greatest joy in life was his family, and he made many opportunities to spend quality time with them. He loved traveling, especially in the red rock country of Southern Utah. He traveled the world many times, but always looked forward to coming home. He loved the sport of handball, which he participated in several times a week.
Education was important to him, and he received his bachelor's degree from Utah State University, and his masters and doctorate degrees in Dairy Nutrition from Cornell University in Ithaca, N. Y. Most of his career was spent at USU in Dairy Research. He loved his work and those he associated with.
Melvin loved this country and served both in World War II and the Korean War. He cherished the friends he made while serving his country and had just attended an army reunion.
Melvin's friends were very important to him and he loved the time he spent with them. He maintained many of these friendships, including those from Saudi Arabia, his mission, the Army, and living among his neighbors in North Logan and Beaver Dam, Arizona.
Dad had a love and gift for woodworking, which he shared through the many wood projects he gave to his loved ones. Many people have his treasures in their homes to remember him by.
Melvin was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He loved the gospel and served gladly in the positions to which he was called. He and Annette served in the Illinois Nauvoo Mission where Melvin was privileged to serve in the blacksmith shop and a driver of the horse and carriage.
Melvin is survived by his sweetheart Annette, and children, Anita and Stephen Stewart, Farmington, Larry Ray and Paula Anderson. Providence, Linda and Gary Jorgensen, Hyrum, Marie and Kerry Greenhalgh, North Logan, and Ray Melvin and Wendy Anderson, Provo; 18 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
Surviving brothers and sisters are Frenna Mayo, Victor Anderson, Rhea Trimble, Dona Mahoney, Afton Johnson, and Ralph Anderson. He was preceded in death by his parents and a brother, Ray Anderson.
