Samuel Michael Anderson

SAMUEL MICHAEL ANDERSON was born on April 7, 1959 and went home to be with the Lord on February 17, 2014 after a long, lengthy battle with cancer. He was raised by his grandparents Calvin and Edna Anderson who have preceded him in death. Michael was raised catholic and born in Baltimore city. He was educated at Saint Cecilia's Catholic School, Calvert Hall and graduated Northwestern High School in Baltimore. He attended Coppin State College and Towson University where he met his future wife, Sheila Chinn. Upon graduation from the Broadcast Institute of Maryland he enjoyed a long career in radio. Sheila and Michael were wed on January 22, 1983. Their union was blessed with four children to raise. Michael accepted Jesus Christ as his Savior in 1987 where he joined Colonial Baptist Church. Although his work often kept him from attending services he kept his faith close to his heart. Michael, also known as Radio Roberts, worked at many Maryland radio stations including: 92Q, Froggy, WCBM, Magic 95.9 and Radio One Baltimore where he served as AM Station Coordinator for many years. One of the trade publications called him the “Hardest working man in Baltimore radio.” Michael's great loves were his family and radio. He had an extensive knowledge base of music and musical artists and often spent his free time listening to and researching music. Michael loved spending time with his family just sitting around talking. He was an avid sports fan. He was a big fan of the Orioles and the Ravens and enjoyed watching and attending professional wrestling matches with his twin boys. Michael loved to talk and his booming voice could often be heard over everyone else's. Michael loved to laugh and had a contagious laugh. He also enjoyed helping others. He could always be counted on if you were moving, needed a ride, a shoulder to cry on, advise or anything else. Michael leaves to mourn: his wife of 31 years, Sheila; nephew/son, Anthony Wiggins II (Joyce), daughter, Samantha Davis (Benjamin); sons, Spencer and Sterling Anderson; four grandchildren, Malaya and Iris Wiggins, Xavier Davis and Braylin Anderson; mother and father-in-law, Lucy and Robert Chinn; brother-in-law, Anthony Wiggins; sisters-in-law, Valerie Eley and Dorian Chinn; nieces, Tectra Holliday, Paula Eley and Nicole Wiggins; five great-nieces, four great-nephews and many other family, friends and colleagues.
