Obituary for Wallace R "Wally" Anderson
Norway - Wallace R. Anderson, 87, of Norway, Mich., passed away Tuesday, February 27, 2024, at the Iron County Medical Care Facility, Crystal Falls, Mich.
He was born January 1, 1937, in Norway, Mich., son of the late Roy and Pauline (Herzog) Anderson. Wallace was a graduate of Niagara High School, class of 1955. He married Margaret Pohlson on April 28, 1956, in Kingsford, Mich. She preceded him in death on February 26, 2021.
Wally was an auto technician for ERA for twelve years; he had a long history of many diverse jobs to provide for his family, and plenty of stories to share. He enjoyed hunting, camping, fishing; was an avid antique car fan, and loved gatherings with family and friends. We will miss the bib-overalls and famous hats.
