Neal was such a good friend to John Tom Sr, them knowing each other through Thermal Supply years ago. Shirley and Claire were close to John's first (late) wife, Dorothy, as well. He helped John Junior in his adult life with many things before he also passed in 2010. John, I'm sure you know how proud Neal was of you; he proudly displayed your pictures in the office, and bragged on all of your achievements! I want to say how sorry I am about your Dad. We had no idea. John has been sick for so long that we haven't spoken to hardly anyone in several years. I saw this only because I was going to call Neal to let him know that John had passed away. Please know that if we had known, John would have insisted on paying his respects. Once again, my condolences to you and your family. Take care, and you can view John's info on this same site. Lawana and the late John W. Tom (Sr, Chief's A/C Supply).

I grew up on the same street as the Andersons. What a loving family! He always treated my sisters and me like we were his own, even piling us all up in his 1966 red Mustang and taking us to the Astrodome for Astros games from time to time. A truly selfless man. He will be missed. May the Lord Jesus comfort and strengthen the Anderson family.
