William "Billy" Dean Anderson
June 23, 1953 - June 15, 2018

William Dean Anderson, known to most as Billy, had the most courageous smile and love of life. His passion for the outdoors and his friends and family was spectacular. He may have left us physically, but he will, always, remain in our hearts. With his family by his side, he entered on his next journey of life on Friday, June 15, 2018, at Mercy Medical Center – North Iowa in Mason City.

William Dean Anderson, a son of Frank and Marjorie (Benson) Anderson, was born on June 23, 1953, in Forest City. After completing the requirments at the Forest City High School, he graduated in 1971. Next, he attended Waldorf College before going to work for the United States Post Office. After thirty-seven years later, he went to work for the Rice Lake Golf and Country Club.

An avid outdoorsman known for his competitive spirit, Billy loved to hunt, fish, golf, bowl, and watch University of Iowa sports. He was also a pro with using duct tape. He will be, dearly, missed by all who knew and loved him.

He was preceded in death by his father, Frank Anderson; his niece, Alyssa Korte; his parents-in-law, William and Muriel Cooper; and his brother in-law, Dennis Cooper.
