Robert H Andersen

He graduated Palm Beach High and was a WWII veteran in the Navy.

He began Robert H. Andersen Masonry in 1951 and while a sought after sub-contractor specializing in block, brick and stone; he also obtained his General Contractors license in June 1989.

He was one of the original founders of the Florida East Coast Trowel Trade Contractors Association (Trowel Guild) with emphasis on the apprentice program. He was a trustee at Palm Beach Atlantic College, vital part and member of the North Family Branch YMCA and a long-time member of the Christian Business Men’s Association (CBMC).

Of all his accomplishments, his membership at Lake Park Baptist Church meant the most to him. Many will recall his kindness, smile and handshake when meeting him on Sunday as a church greeter, teacher, trustee and deacon.
