Tom and Judy Linstroth, My condolences in Chets passing. I was one of his partners at the Racine Dental Group for many years. He was the organizing force in the original group which I understood to be the first one of its kind in Wisconsin. His foresight built what is today with the new building one of the largest independent Doctor owned group in the state. I always stop to look at the old pictures in the entry of the new building and remember the good times and laughs we had at our monthly meetings. He will be sadly missed, but will always be in my thoughts.
Donna Hayes DPM says
You are in my thoughts and prayers. I did not know Dr Anderson, but I’m friends with Cindi- so sorry for your loss.

We enjoyed sharing the pew with Chet, going to concerts with Chet and Marian, hearing about their winters in Texas, and visiting in their home. We will remember him for a long time.
