Wow. I just today stopped at his house on my block and the man doing tile in his house told me he had passed. 24 years Ive known Mr Anderson, I did not know he had passed. He knew my father and family for 65 years I guess. Im shocked. I had to Google this to see what was what. Mr Anderson was a good man, good neighbor, good person towards my son and my wife. He is missed even more now,

Sending my deepest condolences to Ed Lee and family. I remember like it was yesterday, I received a call from Ed Lee, I was surprised to hear his voice on the other end, but he was sharing old stories about him and my dad (pop). All of the good times. I can always ask Ed Lee about the Franklin family. He didn't hesitate to enlighten me. He will truly be missed. R.I.P- from Dimples (Joyce Franklin-Smith).

I extend my deepest condolences to all of my family members for the passing of my cousin. Eddie Lee Anderson. I can't remember when I first met Eddie. It was probably at a family reunion. It's been said, and I paraphrase, PEOPLE MAY NOT REMEMBER EXACTLY WHAT YOU DID, OR WHAT YOU SAID, BUT THEY WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER HOW YOU MADE THEM FEEL. Eddie always made me feel like I belonged. I believe Eddie knew and shared more about the Jackson Family roots than anyone else. Whenever I had a question on how I was related to one person or another, I knew I could go to Eddie for the answer. I feel so blessed to have known him and privileged to have spend time with him. I will cherish the memories of the family cruises with him and watching him compete with other family members in the bid whist games. I will reminisce about all the Jackson Family Reunions I attended with him and how much fun we all had. God has truly blessed us with the life of Eddie. I know all of the family will truly miss him but I also know that this is NOT our home. God has a better plan for us. I believe that Eddie has transitioned to a better realm. I believe that when "absent from the body, you're present with the Lord". With God's blessing I will see my cousin, Eddie Lee Anderson again. Love you, Eddie and thank you. Rest in heaven. Linda M. Slaughter-Hudson I am the granddaughter of Samuel Jackson and the daughter of Cordelia Slaughter Jackson.
