Remembering my younger years at Greater St. James A.M.E. (Gary), I would have to remember Bennie and his family. Before he started his own church he was a dedicated and faithful member of Greater St. James and we will forever miss him and the wonderful memories he left. He was truly a good man and a Godly man.

Extending our sincere condolences to the
Simmons' Family. I knew Bennie in high school and he was always a gentlemen and a warm and caring young man. I had not seen Bennie in recent years but I do know that he was busy doing God's work. We thank God for your life and for all you did to help so many.
Rest in peace, my friend, your job is done.
