One of the nicest people I’ve ever known. Bob and my Dad are probably playing ball just like their St. Cronin days. My thoughts to the Simmons family.
There was only one Bob Simmons and I am so proud to have been one of his friends. Kind, thoughtful, compassionate, always friendly, would go out of his way to help anyone who needed it. Great father, and grandfather. Just a great person to know, play softball with, and I’m very lucky to have known him. God rest your soul pal!
One of the nicest persons I have I have ever met.
DAD, I miss you more than I can put in words…
so glad we had that one-on-one time together these last 8 months – that was PRICELESS !
You were an excellent role model, dad, and grandpa !
Take comfort with Grandma & Grandpa, and I know the “TEAM” up there has reserved your spot at short-stop and batting 3rd !!
Love, your son,
STEVE
I’m going to miss you grandpa. You always treated me as if I was your own grandson. We were so lucky to have you in our life. Rest In Peace.
Love, Jim
So much fun to be around. He was a true knight, always kind, polite, & willing to be of service. Great guy, great ball player, nice to be around. Loved working at the Muny. To his family & close friend, so sorry for your loss. We will keep him in our prayers.
Bob was one of my favorite people. I met him through my future wife Stacey Varga. Bob treated Stacey like a daughter! I got to know him even better through the years of playing fantasy football etc etc. I always told my friends I loved going to the bar on Thursday nights to see Bob. He asked every single week for the wife and kids were. Bob will always remain one of my favorite people. Rest in Peace my friend.
Just read all of the kind tributes and would echo the same.
Bob was always a true gentleman. Met Bob upon moving into IHM’s parish over 35 years ago and was a pleasure knowing him through parish activities, softball and Indian Ball.
Never once saw Bob where he didn’t greet me, or my family, with a big smile and always made you feel he was truly happy to see you … my sympathies to his family and closest friends.
