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.
