Darrell Edward Anderson

At peace with himself, Darrell Anderson passed on to a gentler realm early Friday, May 5, at the the Fairmount Hospital, San Leandro. A thorough gentleman with many friends; a man known for his generosity of soul and heart ad love of life, Darrell will be greatly missed. His spirit lives on in those who knew him.
He enjoyed and participated in many phases of community life in San Francisco. Darrell was an active member of the Golden Gate Guards of San Francisco. He was a key member of the Guards' by-laws committee. An enthusiastic square dancer, Darrell was a long-time member of the Western Star Dancers. He served on their board of directors, chaired numerous committee assignments and was a member of the 1984 Square Dance Liaison that put together the remarkable closing ceremonies of Gay Games II in Kezar Stadium.
He also found time to take part in the court functions of the city and was a member of the Grand Ducal Court of the Golden Eagle and Eternal Flame and the current Court of the Golden Bear and Jade Dragon. A connoisseur of design, he used his couturier talents to create many costumes for candidates, successful and otherwise, in the various Royal and Imperial campaigns and coronations.
A World War II Veteran, he moved to San Francisco in 1948 and operated Darrell's Beauty Shop in the Marina for twenty years. He leaves his sister and brother-in-law, Margaret and Sonny of Fremont, brother Wendell of Norfolk and mother Clara of Bellflower, Ca. No services will be held. Interment at Presidio National Cemetery. Contributions may be made in his name to the American Caner Society.[2]
