Drs. Anderson and George Wentland envisioned a chiropractic college for Northern California, and in 1976 took the first steps toward that dream with Pacific States Chiropractic College (PSCC).
The Daily Review detailed Dr. Anderson's life: growing up in Wallingford, Iowa, and going to the town chiropractor for all his health care needs; choosing chiropractic as a profession after serving in the U.S. Coast Guard during World War II, and running his family's electric fence post company; and being licensed in chiropractic in 1955 and beginning his practice in Hayward, California.
LCCW President Gerard Clum was quoted in the obituary: "He was such an understated guy. George was one of the kindest and gentlest guys I've known in my life. He never raised his voice, and he treated everyone the same -- a bank president, faculty members, students -- with dignity and respect.
Michael Schmidt, DC, dean of LCCW, was also quoted: "I'm sure that there are many people in Hayward who exclusively went to see him."
Dr. Anderson is survived by his wife Elvera Marie; daughters Sheryl and Vicki, and son Barry; brothers Wesley and Harvey; and five grandchildren.
