Dave;
So sorry to see that you dad has passed. I lost contact with your folks some years ago. I hope you remember me, as your mother and my mother where very good friends. There was great times in Oil City.
God will look out for them both and
Sig Anders was one of KTA-Tator’s early inspectors, and he was excellent and most capable, great to work with.
I’m very sorry to hear of his passing, but I hope to live as long as he did-98.
Best wishes to his family and friends.
Ken Ta
To all of the family: I used to live near the bakery and every Sunday after church we would go to ‘Andres’ for French bread, ladylocks, and ‘pizza’-only on Sunday. Sig always seemed to come out from the back while we were there and talk with my mom or dad
Dear Dave and Renate, please accept our deepest sympathy on the loss of Uncle Sig. He was a good man, and we will all have great memories of him.
