James "Jim" Harold Anderson, 83, of Springfield, MO passed away Saturday, January 27, 2024. He was born October 23, 1940, to Harold and Dorothy Anderson in Omaha, NE.
Jim was a wonderful husband, father, and grandfather. He loved life and was such a positive person. He could make a friend in a matter of minutes. He had four main passions: his family, music and his guitar, photography and his pride and joy, his Harley.
He will be missed by family and friends, and we will always have a special place in our hearts for him.
Jim is survived by his wife, Judi; son, Mark; daughter, Melanie; five grandchildren; four great grandchildren; and his brother, Paul.
Arrangements have been entrusted to Midwest Cremation and Funeral Services of Springfield, MO.
