We're so sorry to learn of Jim's death in today's Lexington Herald Leader. We have such fond members of Gay and himself from our years at Calvary Baptist Church where Jim was a deacon and Sunday School teacher in Lexington for so many years.

Jim, Dr Anderson, was so passionate about improving people's health. His dedication to researching and educating people on living a healthy lifestyle was admirable.

Dr. Anderson touched so many lives during his career....with gratitude I grieve his death. PCM
