Burdette R. “Bud” Anderson, age 76, of Waterloo, Iowa, died Saturday, July 27, 2019, at UnityPoint Allen Hospital, in Waterloo.

He was born April 6, 1943, in Waterloo, Iowa, the son of Orval and Bertha (McAninch) Anderson. Bud graduated from Waterloo West High School with the Class of 1961. Bud was united in marriage with Victoria “Vicky” Westemeier on June 8, 1963 at St. Paul United Methodist Church in Waterloo.
