My condolences to the Anderson family. I met Red while playing poker with “the boys” on Wednesday nights a few years back. We instantly hit it off and quickly became friends. May he rest in peace.
Robin I am so sorry to hear about your father prayers for your family
I knew Red for about 20 years. Just about the time you figured he was finally bluffing on a poker hand, he wasn’t!! Goodbye to a true gentleman, friend and a good ol’ boy. Say hi to Demay for us.
