Candice Soine writes:

Clarence was born 7 December 1897 in Maynard, Minnesota to Christopher and Betsey Soine. Betsey was very special to him and she taught him the 23rd Psalm. Also, Grandma Loe was very dear to him and took the place of his mother when she died. Clarence worked in his father's general store. He got his first suit for his Confirmation. It was handmade in Minneapolis and it cost $12. Clarence went to school through the 11th grade and was a very successful basketball player.

He saved $1800 and went to Concordia in Fargo-Moorhead. After a few months he received a telegram from his father saying that he should come home because he had used Clarence's money to buy a farm in Rolette, North Dakota. Clarence went to Rolette until the harvest and then went to Seattle by train to stay with his uncle, Hans, who was the general manager of BF Goodrich.

In 1924 Clarence went to Petersburg, Alaska, to work at the Trading Union in men's furnishings for four years. He returned to Yakima and became the assistant manager for Sears, and then was transferred to the Sears in Everett, Washington.

In June of 1933 Clarence bought out a bankrupt shoe store in Bellingham that had no woman's sized shoe over 4 1/2. He owned this family store for 50 years and prided himself on having served a large percentage of Whatcom County with proper fitting shoes.

Clarence married Ciceley Heath in 1931 and they had three children and seven grandchildren. Clarence called her Ciceley, Heath. Clarence and Ciceley traveled all over Europe and 'vacationed' in Hawaii many winters. Toward the end of his life, he was very close to being legally blind.

He died 21 December 1985 of complication from septic shock which destroyed a valve in his heart. He recited the 23rd Psalm from memory before he died and went peacefully in the presence of his wife and children.

Clarence was fascinated with his ancestors. He would tell me stories about his family history as he gave me his world famous foot massage. The only flaw in Clarence was that he loved lutefisk.

Capt. William J. Anderson, USN Retired, age 86, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, May 19, 2010, at the St. Lucas Care Center in Faribault, Minn.

Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Monday, May 24, 2010, at 10 a.m. at the Divine Mercy Catholic Church in Faribault. Interment will be at the St. Lawrence Cemetery in Faribault with military honors.

Visitation will be held at the Parker Kohl Funeral Home in Faribault on Sunday from 2 to 6 p.m. and on Monday for one hour prior to the services at the church.

Mr. Anderson led a full and vibrant life. Bill was born in Barnesville, Minn., on Jan. 7, 1924, to Bill and Elvina Anderson and graduated from Barnesville High School. He attended North Dakota State University in Fargo for architectural engineering before enlisting in the U.S. Navy on Nov. 13, 1942. He completed his cadet preflight training at St. Olaf College, Northfield, Minn., and his aviation training at Corpus Christi, Texas, and Athens, Ga. After completing 30 months' active duty in the South Pacific Theatre of Operations, he continued his flight career in the Navy Reserve from 1945 to 1978 until he retired, after 36 years, with the rank of Captain, USN, (Squadron VR 814 at the Naval Air Reserve Training Base in Minneapolis, Minn.).

Bill was united in marriage to Carole Marie Dube' in Faribault, Minn., on Sept. 10, 1946, and raised their 12 children in Faribault. He began his civilian career with Artcraft Plastering Company in Faribault. Later, he enjoyed the real estate profession in Faribault and Minneapolis and acquired his broker's license for his companies, Century-21 and Anderson Associates; and he never retired!

Bill was a past president of these Faribault organizations: Chamber of Commerce, Lions Club, Industrial Corporation and Youth Coordinating Council. He served four years on the Faribault City Council, was a member of the board of directors of the Minnesota AAA, and numerous construction trade and real estate organizations throughout Minnesota. Bill was a member of Divine Mercy Catholic Church, a Eucharistic minister, Sacred Heart Choir member, the Knights of Columbus, American Legion, and Veterans of Foreign Wars.

He was passionate about family, flying, golf, cards, fishing and friends — with humor and always a joke.

His most important career was being husband and father. He will be deeply missed by his children: Steven (Louise) Anderson, Faribault; Karen (Allan) Agee, Webster, Minn.; Marilyn Paquette, Apple Valley, Minn.; Paula (Mike) Peroutka, Faribault; Lynda (Tim) Ford, Faribault; David (Barb) Anderson, Dodge Center, Minn.; Bryan (Julia) Anderson, Owatonna, Minn.; Diane (Bryan) Caron, Faribault; Susan Anderson (Greg Metz), Yellow Pine Bar, Idaho; Thomas (Lisa) Anderson, Farmington, Minn.; Sara (Danny) Brown, Faribault; 23 grandchildren, 21 great-grandchildren; brothers-in-law, Arthur Dube' Jr., Robert Dube', Chuck (Rose) Dube'; and sister-in-law, JoAnn Dube'; and extended family.

Mr. Anderson was preceded in death by his wife, Carole; son, Daniel; his parents, Bill Anderson Sr. and Elvina Zollars; sister, Ruby Jean Pfau; grandsons, Kristopher Jones and Tyler Anderson; and many other family members.

Memorials may be designated to Bethlehem Academy, Faribault Area Hospice or the donor's choice in memory of Bill.
