Services for R. G. Anderson, Lawyer, Civic Leader, to Be Held
Services will be held Saturday for Huntington Beach attorney and civic leader Raymond G. Anderson, who died last Wednesday of an apparent heart attack in a courtroom. He was 55.
Anderson, a 28-year resident of Huntington Beach, was graduated from UCLA in 1959. After serving as an officer in the U.S. Navy, he became a senior scientist for the space division of Northrop Corp. In 1976, he was graduated with honors from Western State University College of Law.
He was an associate in the Santa Ana firm of Byhower and Petherbridge for four years.
For the last 10 years he had been senior corporate counsel for Fremont Indemnity Corp. in Santa Ana.
An active member of the community, Anderson volunteered with Habitat for Humanity and Huntington Beach High School Cross Country Boosters Club. He was also a state board member of Phi Kappa Sigma.
Services will be held at noon Saturday at the Peek Family Colonial Funeral Home Chapel, 7801 Bolsa Ave., in Westminster.
Anderson is survived by his wife, Margaret R. Anderson, a judge in North Orange Municipal Court; a daughter, Sharon Anderson Newton; two sons, George Robert Anderson II and Eric David Anderson; two grandchildren, Victoria and Stephanie Newton, and his mother, Ann Urbano Anderson.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to the Huntington Beach High School Cross Country Boosters Club or the Salvation Army.
