James Edward Anderson

I transferred to OSU in the fall of 1969 with a friend who was a track star at our previous school I was basketball player. I met Jimmy and Paul V. Who were the nicest coaches you could ever want to meet. I graduated from OSU in 1971 and have been coaching basketball for over 42 yrs in high school and college here in Phoenix, Arizona I will never forget the kindness and honesty that they expressed to me. May Jimmy and Paul RIP. Harry Cannon

A true Grizzly and Beaver. I watched Jimmy play for Hoquiam. As fine of a person you could ever know. RIP Jimmy. Dennis Wood Hoquiam class of 1958.

Dear Fifi, I read with sadness of Jimmys death. Don´t know if you remember me..I think I remember you from the Alpha Phi house.I I hung out with Jimmy and Mike Dolby and Ron Critzer. Reading his orbit told me about what he had done after OSU. He was an incredible person...kind...loyal....humble ...compassionate ... I could go on and on...any person who knew him was fortunate. My condolences to you all. Mike Kline
