Anding was a son of John Anding (1901–1981) and Mellie B. Anding (1903–1995) of West Monroe.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.faqs.org/people-search/anding-louisiana/|title=Anding|publisher=faqs.org|accessdate=May 22, 2014}}</ref> From 1945, shortly after his marriage at the age of seventeen to the former Lillie Lorece Parnell, Anding became an officer of the International Association of Bridge, Structural, Ornamental and Reinforcing Iron Workers. He held several positions with the union until his retirement in 1992. Prior to his state House service, he had been a member of the Ouachita Parish School Board and for two terms between 1966 and 1974 an alderman on the West Monroe City Council,<ref name=resolution/> having served his city during the administration of [[Mayor]] [[Bert Hatten]].<ref>''Lake Charles American Press,'' June 15, 1966, p. 10.</ref>
In the 1987 general election, Anding narrowly defeated the [[Republican Party|Republican]] David Glen Haynes (born c. 1954) to claim the seat vacated by Democrat Evelyn Blackmon, the first woman elected to the legislature from Ouachita Parish. Blackmon ran third in the nonpartisan blanket [[primary]] and was hence eliminated from the second round of balloting.<ref>{Louisiana Secretary of State, Election Returns, October 24, 1987.}</ref> Anding prevailed by 201 votes, 5,672 (50.9 percent) to Haynes's 5,471 (49.1 percent).<ref>Louisiana Secretary of State, Election Returns, November 21, 1987.</ref>
No Republican challenged Anding in 1991, and he received 81 percent of the vote to secure his second term. In 1995, however, he was toppled by the Republican Michael Arthur "Mike" Walsworth, since a state senator but no longer in that office. Walsworth received 7,745 votes (54.7 percent) to Anding's 6,403 (45.3 percent).<ref>Louisiana Secretary of State, Election Returns, October 21, 1995.</ref>
The Andings had three children, Anita Anding, Shirley A. Downs, and Earnest Anding. He died at the age of seventy-five and is interred in West Monroe at Luna Methodist Cemetery.<ref name=resolution>{{cite web|url=http://www.lanewsbureau.com/inst/2004RS/HR/00/HR77_EN.PDF|title=Regular Session, 2004 HOUSE RESOLUTION NO. 77|publisher=lanewsbureau.com|accessdate=May 22, 2014}}</ref>
