JAMES ANDERSON March 27th, 1962 October 31st, 2022
To all my family, friends, co-workers and customers.
I served in the Military for 22 years and then retired.
I was honoured to serve my country!
After leaving the military, I was employed at Kost Fire Safety since April 3rd, 2003 – 2022, serving many customers throughout the company.
I want to take the time to thank my family, friends, and co-workers, who all stood by me while I went to “war” battling myxofibrosarcoma “cancer” – a rare cancer.
I want to thank everyone at Kost Fire Safety for fighting with me and not allowing me to surrender but to keep fighting.
I was with my wife for 25 years (1997-2022). We were together for 10 years before she agreed to marry me on July 1st, 2009! She stood by me all these years and we had a bond and a promise to always say “I Love You” every morning and every evening and every in between.
“I love my children.” Please know I am not far away….I am in your hearts, and you are in mine, until we meet again one day.
~ Dad ~
