I went to Chandler St Elementary School. I played on the school's basketball team with Kim. He was the star but you would never know it. He was humble. Our team won the championship but it was Kim that led the way. As we grew older, I would occasionally see Kim around. We would reminisce and catch up over a beer or two. RIP Kim.

My name is Christine Hannah now but it use to be Christine Graves. I was a very good friend of Kim we were both born on the same day. I worked at the telephone company with Gayle and Babs and I have met Kim's beautiful mother. I am so sorry to hear of his passing a girl friend told me about it yesterday. I have lived in California for many many years so didn't know. Still a very good looking man hadn't seen him since his teens. There will always be a special place in my heart for Kim. I think Gayle and Babs will remember me.

I remember Kim as agreat basketball player in Grammar school. I think he played at Chandler and I at Winslow-Sever.I believe that his team won the city championship when I was in fifth or sixth grade.I also remember those great All Saints teams at the central Y. I remember Kim as a really nice and humble boy. It was an honor and a pleasure to have known him. May he rest in peace.Malcolm Beauvais.

To the Anderson family I send my condolences. May you find peace and comfort during this difficult time. Thinking of Kim brings back so many memories: Chandler Street schoolyard, Oxford Street School, those undefeated All Saints teams we played on, Summer Leagues and all the crazy things we got into in between. He had a light spirit and was fun to be around. I still hear that laugh. I also got to see the competitor, the serious intense Kim. When he turned into a left-handed assassin. Unstoppable. Thank you for all those memories Kim. May your soul find eternal rest.

To the Anderson family, Kim was a friend of mine a few years back, we played ball together, had a few beers together and a lot of laughs together. Kim was a person that could bring a smile to you if you were down, and a friend that you 'd like to be around.
May he rest in peace, and I will always remember him as a friend.

So sorry to hear of the passing of Kim. We were teammates when the Worcester Parks Football League first started years ago. Kim was our center, and did an exceptional good job of blocking for us. I lost contact with him a few years ago, but have never forgotten him. He and his family are wonderful people that I have known since my very early teenage years and I sincerely hope that they may find peace very soon. They have gone through family losses over the past couple of years and I offer my deepest condolences to all of them. May God rest the soul of Kim Anderson. Your family friend, Ernie Dew.

Kim Anderson most important was a wonderful person. He was my friend never a raised voice or ugly word. the first basketball trophy I received what nothing to do with me Kim took Chandler street School to the city championship all by himself 26 points and 17 rebounds in the championship game.
I don'y know how many games we played and parties we attended, after he moved to the westside eventually I met the rest of his family. I love all of you and I hope Allah (G'd) makes this difficult time as easy as possible. Kim RIP.
