    Al was a friend, a mentor, business partner, client, and supporter of mine (all in one). I will cherish our memories, apply his wisdom, and hopefully make an imprint on life as impactful as his. Earnest Davis

    Al Anderson, was a giant in the media industry. He was a pioneer in African-American media, I was introduced to Al through my wife who had worked with Al on many marketing projects.

    My family and I were very saddened to learn that Al Anderson had passed away, because we knew that we had lost a true friend and supporter. Al was an advocate for advancing minorities in many areas from politics to business to motorsports and you knew when you had his support. He was always there from when we met with CEO's for sponsorships to whe...

    Daddy, I miss you!

    April Anderson28 Feb 2015

    April, please know that your father is genuinely and fondly remembered in Winston-Salem. He was a fine person; well liked and well thought of as a boy, as a young man, and as an adult.  Most significantly, he was respected as a person of integrity, whose word could be relied upon, and whose friendship was worth having. He will have told you, I expe...

    Al was unflinchingly committed to garnering respect for Black consumerism in the halls of corporate America. He was a trusted confidante and someone I enjoyed visiting and talking to Al about the issues around getting our share of marketing budgets. His office was a rich repository of our culture and it tickled me to sit as he manipulated the vario...

    Al, You have been a friend for many years and although I didn't finish the project for you ,God knows best and that it wasn't as important as life. Rest comfortably you're at peace now and will surely be missed by all,you certainly made a difference.

    How do we measure the impact of a Man's life? When I think of Al, I think of his creativity, compassion, insight and love of Porsche's (I think he got a new one every year). I met Al when I was an Intern at Triangle Associates my senior year at Spelman College. I had so much fun at the agency that I asked for a job and was hired! Al was the best ...

    When I think about Al, so many memories come flooding back to me. They are too numerous to process, and include many highlights. I met Al in 1974, when I came to Atlanta as a copywriter seeking a new start in life. I was told to contact an agency called Triangle Associates, which at that time, operated out of a house in the West End somewhere...

    Gt Seay We are very sorry to hear about the passing of cousin Albert, which we learned of today (4/13). Rest in Peace, from your cousins, Burnside E. Anderson, Mercedes Anderson Sadler, Therese Sadler Seay, Keith Sadler, and many more.

    I was shocked to hear of Albert's death today 4-14 15. I was close to his sister Jackie but did not have close ties with him. He looks just like his dad,who lived with my family the summer he worked on his PHD at Penn. I am sorry that I did not know because I would have attended the Memorial Service.My daughter and brother had contact with him.Apri...
