Greg Anderson (1953-2024)

Greg Anderson, 70, of Crescent Township, passed away on April 1, 2024 in Heritage Valley Sewickley.  He was born in Sharon, Pennsylvania on May 9, 1953, the son of the late George & Lily (McIntosh) Anderson. In addition to his parents, Greg was preceded in death by his sisters, Carole Lee Prather & Alayne Gayle Brenner.

Greg is survived by his wife of  50 yrs, Sally A. (Thomas) Anderson, a son, Daniel (Jennifer) Anderson, granddaughter, Eva Anderson of Uniontown, Pennsylvania, two step-grandchildren, Abagail & Nick Hudock, and a daughter Elizabeth (Ben) Anderson of Crescent, Pennsylvania, and niece, Layne Anderson.

He is also survived by his brother, John D. Anderson (Fluff), and a sister, Lily Beth Anderson.

Greg loved animals, nature, swimming, and running as a child until he found music in his youth, which quickly consumed his hours; listening to music and learning all of his favorite songs.

While working at Grant’s department store, he met his future wife, Sally.  They adventured across the country as the band, Common Touch.  When this adventure came to end, they returned to western Pennsylvania and made the region their home.

While Greg worked as a steel worker, most knew him for his dedication to work safety for himself and his coworkers.  He continued to pursue music, playing in cover bands throughout his life and his favorite hobby was fishing; spending hours catching fish and then releasing them back to the waters to be caught again another day.

All services are private at this time. The Huntsman Funeral Home and Cremation Services of Moon Township is in charge of arrangements.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to The American Red Cross.
