Thomas A Anderson Sr. (known by many as Andy, and to family and close friends as Buddy) was born on January 20, 1935, in Lumberton, NC. He was raised on a farm and worked hard until January 8, 1954, when he entered the United States Marine Corps and was sent to Parris Island, SC for Marine Corps Boot Camp. He Schooled as a Machinist and later toured with the USMC Rifle Pistol team. He served the Marines honorably for 20 years, retiring on July 31, 1973. He continued to serve in the USMC Fleet Reserve and was fully discharged on February 1, 1984.
While serving in the USMC, Thomas A Anderson Sr. had his tours of duty in Vietnam, Japan, Hawaii, Camp Lejeune, and USMC Beaufort SC. He traveled to many other places around the world with the Rifle Pistol Team representing the United States Marine Corps.
During Thomas A Anderson Sr's early years in the USMC, he met a beautiful young lady named Betty J Davis of Charlotte, NC. She soon became his wife and Life Long partner and they were married on February 27, 1957.
Before his last days of retirement, Andy worked helping set up mobile homes for many of the mobile home dealers in Beaufort, SC. He eventually became interested in Heating and Cooling, leading him to take HVAC classes. Soon he opened Andy's Heating & Air Conditioning. After many years, he opened Andy's Mobile Home Supply while also venturing into Land Clearing. Later the Mobile Home Supply Building was robbed and burned and instead of rebuilding he decided to give his son, Thomas Jr, the HVAC Business as he continued with the Land Clearing Business. Andy later ventured into the Drain Field and Septic Tank Business and not long after Andy's Septic Tank & Drain Field Service was born. He and his son, Michael, continued the business until Andy had to shut the business down because of Medical issues after being injured on a job. Andy then said that it was time to retire again.
Thomas A Anderson Sr. received many awards in the USMC and on this earth. None like the one that counted the most when he left this world after fighting a good fight, finishing his course, and keeping the faith, and thus receiving a crown of righteousness that he could later place at the feet of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen
