H. Charles Anderson of Kodak, Tennessee, passed from this life to the life eternal on April 19, 2021. He was born in West Palm Beach, Florida, where he later met the love of his life, Gale, at âThe Hutâ in August of 1958. They married on May 7, 1960 at First Baptist White Pine. He began his career as a sheet metal worker and, after years of hard work, he started a small single-family home construction business in south Florida with David Kimmel. While he loved the ocean, diving for Florida lobster, and the sand between his toes, the mountains also called to him and that brought the Anderson family to east Tennessee over the course of the 1980s. He built Tree Tops Resort of Gatlinburg, which preserved the beauty of Roaring Fork with vacation homes that nestled in the landscape among the trees. He went on to build Oakmont Resort and Sunrise Ridge, bringing jobs to the community and joy to many families. He came out of a very active retirement to rebuild Tree Tops after the 2016 Gatlinburg fires.
