“Erich was my best friend.I was honored to love him and to be loved by him,” she remarked. “”He was an extraordinary man with an incisive mind, intense curiosity, and an interest in and concern for others.”
And no matter how bad things became, Erich remained grateful for all the delights he had in life and for his loving family and friends. Erich and I would like to thank all who were and are a part of EOLOA.
They give a terrific service for us all.”
Anderson had more than 100 credits to his name after getting into the entertainment industry in the early ’80s as a soldier in “For Love and Honor.”
His second performance was not just his film debut but also one of his most memorable, portraying Rob Dier in “Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter.”
He followed that up with another notable performance as pitcher Bobby Stang in “Bay City Blues.” From then, Anderson maintained his career in the acting industry with turns on “Murder, She Wrote,” “Hard Copy,” “Tour of Duty” and “Thirtysomething.”
