Coach Jim Simmons was the best math teacher I had from the beginning of my years at Seabreeze High School and so ethical that he set wonderful standards and behavior for all his students in every appropriate way! I am so glad that he has been a part of my and so many of my friends lives for decades since we first had the privilege of meeting him. We are also so fortunate to have his wonderful brilliant wife, Sunny, in our lives, too! They have been like our extra parents as long as we have known, respected, loved, and enjoyed them in our lives in everyway possible!!! And we are all so happy that they attended the Seabreeze High School graduates lunch gatherings regularly.
I am so grateful that before he left the planet to go to heaven that I got to visit him twice at the Hospice Care Center while in homeland to remind him of how special he was in everyway for all of us and how proud we are of all he and Sunny achieved for all of us in both of their wonderful educational careers and more!!!

Sunny, John and my condolences. Coach Simmons was a giant. He helped mold a lot of us. He is one reason I joined the USAF and retired from there. Also coached youth sports and became a teacher. Thanks coach for your influence and Rest in Peace.

Coach Simmons was truly a GIANT among men. He was a mentor and role model to three generations of high school students, teaching and coaching at Cross Creek, Seabreeze, and Spruce Creek High Schools. I have been blessed to have known him as a teacher (at Seabreeze), colleague (at Spruce Creek), and, most especially, as a Dear Friend. R.I.P. Coach.

Coach touched the lives of thousands of his students and all of his players. I'm grateful I had the chance to be in his classes and to play for him. We all mourn his loss and pray for Sonny. RIP
