James Anderson

As a neighbor, Jimmie is what we called him, would be there for all of us in the neighborhood. He had a helping hand when ever you needed one, a smile or a wave. A person with a big heart for his fellow man. The neighborhood will miss him.

14 years (or so) ago, my son Colin walked through the doors of Xpedx/Veritiv looking to market his freight trucking business. Luckily, they brought him in as a contractor. Since he was living with us at the time; I began to hear about this impressive guy; this James Anderson, who would load him up every morning. James was this kind soul who took this nervous 21 year old "kid" under his wing and showed him the ropes- -mentored him. As a Dad, I was grateful.

So who was this heroic...
