Warren Salzner Anderson

Warren Salzner Anderson, beloved father, grandfather, husband and friend passed away peacefully on January 20, 2010 at age 88.

He was born July 27, 1921 in Pocatello, Idaho to Mildred I. Salzner and Howard B. Anderson Sr. He lived in Boise and Denver before settling in Salt Lake at 11. He graduated from South High and the University of Utah. From 1943 to 1946, he served as an officer in the U.S. Army. While in the Army, he married his sweetheart, Ruth Earl. After the war and overseas duty, the marriage was solemnized in the Salt Lake Temple.

His career as a CPA began with the Appellate Division of the IRS and switched to the private sector, practicing in Salt Lake City. He joined the Utah Association of CPAs in 1953 and served on the Executive Board, served as president in 1973-74, and was later awarded life membership.

Warren was a cheerful, good natured person who focused on the sunny side of life. He shared his love of music by singing, playing, and listening. Many fine days were spent with friends and relatives on the golf course and with family in the wilds. He joined his sons in the Scouting and Explorer programs. He used his accounting skills to help widows, the disabled, retired people, and others.

Our dad, grandpa, brother-in-law, friend, and brother will be sorely missed, but he lives on in all of us.

His wife Ruth passed away in January 2008. He is survived by sons Brent (Renee Doe); Paul (Mary Ann Wright); Marc (Amy Finch); daughters Elaine and Peggy, brothers Arthur S. Anderson (Jan), and Howard B. Anderson Jr.(Midene). He was devoted to his nine treasured grandchildren, Cynara Guyer, Kit Keigwin, Felice Charlton, Whitney Barrell, Adrianne Hansen, Zachary Anderson, Peter Anderson, Ella Anderson, and Evan Anderson.
