James Thomas Anderson was born May 21, 1932. He loved spending his time on ham radio and enjoyed gardening of all sorts throughout his life time and enjoyed traveling around the world. James spent his younger years helping with his family as they grew up. He also joined the Army and was in it for 30 years and 28 days and helped protected us in the Korean War and Vietnam War while he served those many years. He received the Bronze Star Medal in the Republic of Vietnam during the period September 1, 1968 to July 21, 1969. He passed his love for life and freedom and travel on to his daughter Karen, son-in-law John, and grandchildren and great- grandchildren.

He is survived by his wife, Hohomi; daughter, Karen; brother, Franklin; two sisters, Bonnie and Mamie; two granddaughters, Julie and Joanna; great-grandchildren and many loved nieces and nephews.
