March 19, 1963 - May 6, 2022

Allan George Anderson of East Hampton was a “rock star” who was “loved by all,” his friends and family wrote. A retired East Hampton Village police officer who spent 20 years on the force, Mr. Anderson was also an active member of the East Hampton Fire Department.

He died on May 6 at Stony Brook University Hospital of an undetermined infection. He was 59 and had been ill only a few days.

Mr. Anderson was born at Southampton Hospital on March 19, 1963, to George William Anderson and the former Shirley Elizabeth Joss.

He grew up on Newtown Lane in East Hampton and graduated from East Hampton High School, marrying his high school sweetheart, Ingrid Lutzen, known as Mushie, on June 18, 1988. Here they raised their two children, Christopher and Heather.

Mr. Anderson enjoyed golfing, riding his Harley-Davidson motorcycle, working around the yard, and most of all his two grandchildren, Hudson James Anderson, 3, and Nolan Allan Anderson, 6 months.

His wife and daughter live in East Hampton, as do his siblings, John Anderson, Brian Anderson, and Deborah Anderson. His son is in Rock Hill, S.C.

A wake was held on May 12 at the Yardley and Pino Funeral Home in East Hampton with a fire and police service. A cousin, the Rev. Lawrence Paul McErlean of Harwich, Mass., officiated at a graveside service at Cedar Lawn Cemetery in East Hampton.

His family has suggested contributions in his name to the East Hampton Fire Department, 1 Cedar Street, East Hampton 11937.

Correction: An earlier version of this obituary incorrectly identified Mr. Anderson as a retired town police officer. He was an officer in the East Hampton Village Police Department.
