Mr. Herman Clifton "Andy" Anderson was born in Chattooga County, Georgia on February 20, 1924 to the late Samuel J. Anderson and the late Ola Emma C. Anderson. He was preceded in death by his sister, Doris Brown, as well as by their parents.
Mr. Anderson was 88 years old. He lived in Rome, Georgia, and passed away on Monday, April 30, 2012, in a Rome health care center.
He was a faithful member and leader at Calvary Baptist Church, where he had served the Lord his entire life. Mr. Anderson had served the church for many years as chairman of the deacon board, as well as serving as a Sunday School teacher, trustee, and member of several pulpit committees.
Andy enlisted in the United States Army shortly after he graduated from Subligna School. He served in the 676 Glider Field Artillery Battalion of the 13th Airborne Division during World War II.

Hight in the automobile industry, but eventually co-founded his own company, Collier-Anderson Motor Company, with his business partner, Clayton Collier. Mr. Anderson spent over 50 years doing what he loved in the automobile industry.
Mr. Anderson was also a leader in the community. He was a past president of the Lions Club of Rome. He regarded everyone as a friend.
