Devoted Husband and Father, Fun-loving Grandfather and Reliable Friend and Brother

Roy N. Anderson, 62, of Kennett Square, PA, passed away Friday, November 1, 2019, surrounded by family after a courageous battle with cancer. Born in 1957 in Wilmington, DE, he was the son of the late Edward R. and Rose (Martelli) Anderson.

Roy was a Kennett Square native and graduate of Kennett High School in 1975. He was a devoted husband and father, fun-loving grandfather and reliable friend and brother. Roy was a master tinkerer and problem solver, avid collector of antiques, and renowned home chef. He loved western movies, motorcycle rides, cultivating tomatoes for his homemade pasta sauce and fishing with family and friends. Most of all, he loved being silly Pop-Pop, and sharing his toys with his grandchildren. He will be remembered by family and friends for his wildly entertaining stories and many memories they will cherish.

He is survived by his wife of 37 years, Pamela; daughter, Christina and her husband Ryan of Wilmington, daughter, Meghan of Kennett Square, son, Matthew and his wife Gift of Kennett Square; three grandchildren whom he adored, Autumn, Nolan and Connor, he was very much looking forward to meeting his 4th grandchild, who is due in January; one brother Edward of Collegeville, PA and two sisters Josephine of Elkton, MD and Genevieve of Springfield, PA.
