James Anderson Obituary

When I think about Rev Anderson, my thoughts will take me back to Cook County Jail, where I first meet him. I worked in the Superintendent´s office of Division Two. He was so full of excitement, Joy and energy and on fire for the Lord. He would always stop in our office to say hello and to chat. He really loved the Jail Ministry and dedicated the last years of his life performing one last mission for God. And I am certain that he lead many souls to Christ.

Min. Anderson, keeping up with ur Aunt Jean ain´t easy to do. She is running rings around me at 90 years old, lol. Missing ur prayers & sermons. I know ur blessings are overflowing now.

Thinking of you and having many conversations about you with your aunt Jean. She is just as stubborn and just as adorable. Hope I´m doing you proud trying to see to her needs. Once again thx for everything. Your life was a testimony to the power and glory of our God!

It was nice to see this Memorial Page, I was just thinking about Rev Anderson a few days ago. I believe he is sitting in Gods presence and still working for the Lord in some meaningful way. Miss him and will also remember that big vibrant smile.

You will alway's live in my heart we shared twenty years together and I will alway's remember the good times and how you always had a prayer for anyone who needed it. I wish we could of been closer at the end but God knew what was best for both of us. I miss you. You alway's said you were looking foward to going home to be with the Lord and I know you are having a good time with all the saints and You and Pastor Watson going to breakfast and talking thru dinner. Thank you for the times we shared.

I met Rev Anderson at ALTC. He ministered to my son on many occasions and I thank God for him. I knew his testimony and he could minister to our youth and young men because he had been where a lot of them were. You will be missed. God called you home. Be blessed.

James,
I want to apologize for writing so late.Thank you for being there for me and my family during the 50 plus years that we shared in Englewood you will be missed. We had great conversations and many fond memories of growing up when and where we did. God bless you and your family and we will see each other soon on the other side.

Sorry for your loss, please remember to lean on the "God of all Comfort" 2nd Cor 1:3-4.

Min. Anderson, I met U at ALTC in 1992. U were ALWAYS open & easy 2 approach. Although I could
tell that U were somewhat stubborn, U never allowed that 2 get in the way of praying.....& BOY did u believe in casting out devils. I'm happy 4 U bcuz U have transitioned N2 the presence of the one who really captivated ur heart. I'll see u again sir but in the meantime, say hello 2 my son & Pastor Watson.

James spoke to the attendees at St. John Ministries. He was an inspiration, as he shared openly regarding his life. My prayers are with the family. Keep looking to Jesus!

Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal. Rev. Anderson touched many lives at the jail, where he was a Chaplain for many years, doing the work of the Lord. He was committed to Gods calling on his life and I believe that he won many souls for the Lord. God has called Rev. Anderson home from labour to reward.

I worked with Chaplain Anderson for many years at County. Thank God for his zeal in the ministry, and genuine concern for the souls of men. He was loved and respected, and will be missed. Comfort and blessings to the family, you have our prayers.

May your soul rest in peace! My heart and prayers go out to the family members.

Thank you for caring and sharing.

Even though I am not able to be with you as the family says good bye to "Uncle Jimmy", please know that I send my deepest condolences and prayers.

Hey Dad, I still can't believe you have gone on to glory, you are in a happy place now. I was looking through my phone reading messages between us...and you told me 'Oooo Tiff, I can hear the Anderson attitude in your blood' lol See you when I get there, save a spot for your only baby girl who you insisted on naming Tiffany, but we compromised it down to Daina :-) Love you, rest easy sir...

My prayers are with you and your family.

Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you.

I wish I had been able to spend more time with you and talking like we used to. I know you always had my best interests at heart and were ready to counsel whenever I needed it. I will always remember the kinds words of encouragement that you always had for me. You will be missed and always revered. Love You,
Steve
