Bob was born April 1, 1933, in Minneapolis, Minn., to Otto and Anne Andersen and married Pat on Feb. 23, 1953, in St. Thomas Catholic Church in Minneapolis.
Their children are Bill (Rosa) Andersen of Eugene, Ore., and Tom Otto (Donna) Andersen and Carrie McCarthy of Klamath Falls, Ore.; grandchildren Angelic (Mike) Reed of Fort Lewis, Wash., Kyle Otto (Amanda) Andersen and Kalla Andersen of Klamath Falls, Christina Bassett-McCarthy of Klamath Falls, Alyssa (Ken) McCue of Mountain Home, Idaho, and Nicholas (Misty) McCarthy of Norfolk, Va; great-grandchildren Jasmine Brock, Isabella, Cortney, Ethian, Justyn, Jeremiah, Elizabeth, Serenity, Connor Otto, Zaydin Robert, and Ellyse Patricia.
He is also survived by his sister Betty Solberg of Mission, Texas.
He was preceded in death by his parents, a sister, and two brothers.
Bob served as a mineman in the U.S. Navy during the Korean Conflict and later attended Oregon Institute of Technology. He retired in 1992 after 36 years as a machinist with Weyerhaeuser Co. He enjoyed camping, reading, shooting, collecting old movies, and his family.
At Bob's request, no services will be held. After private cremation, the wind will carry his ashes to places he enjoyed with his family throughout his life here on earth. Friends are welcome to call at the family home.
Any commemoratives are requested to be sent to St. Jude's Children's Hospital or Klamath Humane Society.

Grandpa I know you are in peace now. I am so sorry I did not get to see you one last time and that will always be my biggest regret. You were not just my grandpa, but also my father who showed me the meaning of life. I love you more than words can say and I know you are still with us all in spirit and in memory. I make you this promise that I will not leave again and that between all the family we are going to make sure grandma is safe and well loved and cared for as I know that is what you spent your life doing. Grandma and you have the kind of love and respect that we all can hope for, but not all experience. I love you and have missed you for years.

Bob, I'm sure everyone that knows you will miss you just as much as I will. I treasured getting to spend time with you growing up. No one else has ever come up with as interesting a nickname for me. Mom and I will check in on Pat and "your" garden regularly. Miss you!!!

Hi Dad, it me Bill your oldest son!
I love you and will always have wonderful thoughts of you. I will make sure mom is okay, and I know Otto and Carrie will always be there too.
Now you can walk again and see as far as you would like. I have great memories growing up and will cherish those memories.
My Rosa just loved you to pieces and you always had a smile for her. Even when we would call and she would say Roberto, I know you were smiling.
God Bless you Dad, Bill
