Arnold Anderson, 70, of Overland Park, KS, passed away December 2, 2017 after a 16-year fight with Parkinson's Disease. Arnold was born in Texarkana, TX on November 12, 1947 to Lona and Donald Anderson. He graduated from Wichita State University, where he received a Master's in Latin American History. Arnold began working at Travelers Insurance in 1973 in Waterloo, Iowa before transferring to Overland Park. He retired as an Assistant Manager from Travelers in 2007. Arnold had an immense love for family and friends. Anyone who knew him was well-aware of his massive knowledge and love of music, accompanied by his equally impressive record collection, which sustained him through the most difficult of times with his disease. He was part of a variety of social activities, including being part of The Oldsmobile Club and MSRA, attending hot rod events around the nation. He was an active part of his Round Hill community and a vocal supporter of Wichita State basketball. He is survived by his wife, Karen; his two siblings Donald Anderson (Diane) of Stillwater, MN and Laurel Street of Roeland Park, KS; his son, Chris Anderson (Caroline) of Olathe and stepson Russell Fox of Grain Valley; three grandchildren (Elizabeth and Emily Anderson, Jonathan Stivers) and one great-grandchild (Nicholas Stivers); two nephews (Garrett Street, and Jason Anderson) and one niece (Jessica Anderson). A private service will be held February 17, followed by a celebration of life with dinner at Birdie's Pub and Grill at 8889 W 75th St. in Overland Park at 5:00 p. m. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to Rock Steady Boxing at www. inyourcornerkc. com/donate, or The Michael J. Fox Foundation at www. michaeljfox. org.
