Mr. Anderson served as an officer of the Eunice Police Department from 1966 to 1974. Because of his constant awareness of the needs of the people of Eunice, Mr. Anderson felt compelled to run for city councilman. In 1993, he was elected as City Councilman of Ward #2 and successfully completed three terms.
On Thursday, January 28, 2016, at Oak Lane Wellness and Rehabilitation Center in Eunice, LA, time drew back the curtain and brought to a close, the end of day for our beloved “Poncho”.
To share warm and fond memories of his earthly life will be his devoted niece and caretaker Cynthia Ann (Clayton) Doucet of Inkster, MI; two sisters-in-law: Gladys L. Blount and Dorothy L. Gallow both of Eunice, LA; and host of nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends.
Mr. Anderson was preceded in death by his wife: Bernadine L. Anderson and his nephew that he reared as his own, Michael Leavings.
