6A • May 13, 2016 • Seaside Signal • seasidesignal.com OBITUARIES Peter Archie Anderson Aug. 23, 1942 — April 24, 2016 Real Estate Emeritus Peter Archie Ander- son — otherwise known as Skippy, PA, Pops, Daddy — started his journey in Port Townsend, Washington, in 1942, where he loved ish- ing on the docks and causing trouble with his little crew. From there he moved with his family to Hillsboro, Ore- gon, where he became quite the popular stud — with his buddies and cars they would patrol the streets like Kings. This is where he met little Ruthie Fragmeier, married and produced an AWESOME daughter, Kristin Sheree. Not long after this Dr. Homer Ire- land (his mentor), who was a dentist in Seaside, Oregon, persuaded him to come and sell real estate at the Oregon Coast — he said, “It’s go- ing to be big and you can do it.” So we packed ’er up and moved to Seaside. This is where the magic begins … A real estate extraordi- naire was born. Pete Ander- son Realty started off as one small ofice and became the largest real estate company on the Oregon Coast — wait … there’s more — then came Seaside Sanitary Service and The Bounty Bar and Grill. Wow, what a businessman! After that chapter came to a close, you would have thought that Pete would like to relax a bit. Nope, not Pete … well … he did stop long enough to court a pretty little lady named Monyica Rich (whom he was very happi- ly married to for 18 years) — and so it continues … He landed in Palm Springs, where again he wheeled and dealed, opening an antique shop, lipping houses and buying and selling classic cars … and of course … there’s more! (I don’t know about you but I’m exhausted just reading this!) Next stop on the Ander- son journey … Fayetteville, Tennessee! Pete loved the beauty of Tennessee and the Peter Anderson All-American town. So is he inally slowing down? … HECK NO! On to opening General Real Estate Services — where he was again one of the top agencies in Alabama/ Tennessee. If you know Peter Ander- son at all, you would agree that there are many words to describe him — kind, gen- erous, loving, stubborn, al- ways right (and he normally was 90 percent of the time), compassionate, handsome as a fox, and funny — funny as hell — and smart … very smart. He was one in million who touched so many lives. And I guarantee he is up there with a “For Sale” sign at the pearly gates, making a deal. RIP Pete and TCB (Take Care of Business) Sail On … What A Ride! He is survived by his wife, Monyica Anderson; daughter Kristin Anderson Farm; son- in-law Kevin Farm; stepsons Brandon and Jason Rich; sis- ter Carol Smith, her husband, Marvin Smith, nephew Kelly Ott and grand-niece Kelli Ni- cole Guillory; brother Charlie Anderson, niece Jenny An- derson Zurcher; best friend Elvin Foltz; countless other buddies whom he adored; and grandpup Raina Farm. He was preceded in death by his father Carl August An- derson; his mother Catherine Charlotte Anderson; and his niece Traci Ott Guillory. There will be celebrations of his life this summer. Cartwright Park mountain bike track gets go-ahead Construction of track approved by City Council By R.J. Marx Seaside Signal “We’re ready to dig! We’re ready to move dirt!” Chris Quackenbush said this week as the Seaside City Council unanimously approved a plan to build a mountain bike track in Cartwright Park. The project was driv- en by Quackenbush, Morgan Soller and Ste- ven Blakesley, members of the North Coast Trail Alliance. “We’ve been thriv- ing all over the state,” Soller said. “Mountain bike trails are just going off the charts. It’s super popular.” Organizers hope to provide a spot for moun- tain bike riding close to home. “It was really cool — the irst meeting 23 peo- ple showed up,” Soller said. “And it’s grown from then on.” The track will be devel- oped on vacant land north of the park’s boat ramp and behind the Seaside School District Adminis- tration Building. Oblong tracks of natural soils will be built up into berms and hills. “It’s a place for moun- tain bikers to go do what they want to do without having a lot of transition, a lot of elevation change,” Soller said. The effect will be a similar experience to a “purpose-built trail,” he said. The Seaside Planning Commission conditional- ly approved the plan April 13. The commission re- quired erosion mitigation measures, bike racks for the park and minor modi- ications to the plan. Phase one includes one berm and four pump bumps, requir- ing 6 yards of clean ill. Phase two will require about 38 yards of clean ill and material for the track. “Next Tuesday, we’re going to go over and do the site clearing and grad- ing of it, and then start lay- ing it out,” Soller said. Building could start the second weekend in May. Northwest Coast Trails Coalition donated $250 for signs. Teevin & Fischer is donating materials and an excavator will be provided by All Rents. Labor will be provided by volunteers. “We’re planning on attacking it based on ev- erybody’s availability every weekend until it’s inished,” Soller said. “The thing with dirt and rock you can only pack it so much, you also have to let the weather hit it. You don’t want to ride it pre- maturely.” Organizers aim for a Fourth of July opening. “That way everybody who’s been working so hard can have a barbecue and reap the beneits,” Soller said.
