In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his wife of 48 years, Jewell Maxine Alderman. Cherishing his memory are his children, Susie Russ and her husband Rick Russ of Ft. Walton Beach, Fla., Donald Alderman of Sherwood, and Andrea Vander Lugt and her husband Roger A. Vander Lugt of Sherwood; two brothers; Anderson R. "Rudy" Alderman and his wife Jane Alderman, and Thomas Alderman and his wife Sharon Alderman; niece, Christine Prouty; 12 grandchildren; six great-grandchildren; and a host of other relatives and special friends.
