I’m my sending my condolences to the family. I work at the James A. Haley Veterans Hospital as a Nutrition Ambassador and I work in the Diet Office in the Nutrition and Food Service Department. I have been taking with Mr. Simmons for four years about his meals. I been on a two and half week vacation and when I return yesterday that was the first thing my coworker told me was that Mr. Simmons had passed. You’re in my thoughts and Prayers. I’m going to really miss him. I’m crying typing this message cause he’s truly going to be missed.

I met brother Simmons 30 years ago when I joined International Masons and Order of Eastern Star. He was a good Masonic brother and always made sure the sisters had rides to the various cities that we visited. Rest on brother and condolences to the family.
