Robert L. Anderson

Robert Lawrence Anderson, known as “Bob” and “BA”, a lifelong resident of Southern New Hampshire, passed away peacefully at his home in Webster on January 24, 2026, at the age of 67.

In a manner true to his spirit and fitting for those who knew him, he passed while listening to music by the Grateful Dead.

Robert is survived by his son, Robert M. “Bubba” Anderson, and his daughter-in-law, Allison Anderson; his son, William L. “Billy” Anderson; his grandchildren, Robert S. Anderson and Paisley Marks; his brother, Jeff Anderson; his niece, Lauren Anderson; and his former wife, Lisa (Sweetnam) Palanski. He was predeceased by his beloved parents, Kaye A. Anderson and Robert L. Anderson.

Born in Chicago, Illinois in 1958, Robert spent his formative years in Billerica, Massachusetts, and later in Amherst, New Hampshire. A proud graduate of Milford Area Senior High School in 1976, he honorably served in the United States Navy. Robert dedicated his working life to autobody work in Nashua, Milford and Webster areas, a craft that showcased his strong work ethic and attention to detail and earned him many lasting friendships.

He will be remembered by those who knew and loved him for his passions: the Grateful Dead, the art of baking homemade bread, perfecting his famous spaghetti sauce, and peaceful days spent fishing. Sundays held a special place in his heart, as he loved attending church. Above all, Robert adored his grandchildren, Robert S. Anderson and Paisley Marks, who were his greatest joy. He was also faithfully devoted to his loyal dog, Bentley, who was always by his side.

Robert was a father, grandfather, brother, friend, and “Deadhead” whose presence will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who knew him.

Family and friends are invited to gather and share memories of Bob on Tuesday, February 3rd from 5 to 7 p.m. at the FARWELL FUNERAL HOME, 18 Lock Street, Nashua.
