People/Subject

Anderson, Allan "Al" Lee

Al Anderson was born in Coronation, Alberta on August 4, 1926. His father, Victor Anderson, was a hardware merchant and funeral director and had come from Sweden when he was young. Al met his wife, Marjorie Walton, in Innisfall, Alberta, where she was a dental assistant. Al came to Langley briefly in 1947 after he was discharged from the army to work for a branch of the Columbia Funeral Home, which was located in the Lyttleton Block. He later worked at New Westminster and White Rock locations before returning to the Langley branch as the manager at a new location, a position he continued until he purchased the local business for himself in 1960. The Anderson funeral home also maintained an ambulance service for the area. Al and Marjory had four children (3 girls and a boy): Lee, Vicki, Roni and Alan. Al Anderson later became a Langley City Councillor, and was appointed as a council member to chair the Public Works Department. He received a Life Membership in the Kinsmen Club, and was a member of the Legion, Chamber of Commerce, and the Masonic Lodge. He was also very active on a citizens committee that got three outdoor pools built in the community: Fort Langley, Aldergrove, and Langley. After the pools were built, he was the administrator for the Langley City pool as a member of the Langley Parks Board. The Langley pool was later renamed "Al Anderson Pool." He died on August 2, 1974 and was buried in the Murrayville Cemetery.
