Not sure what to say?

I just learned of Fred's passing and I am devastated. He was a great boss, a great friend and a wonderful human being. I lost touch with him over the years, but he was in my thoughts always, as well as his beautiful wife Sharyn.

It was genuine pleasure and benefit to be Dr Simmons student!!!

Dr. Fred Simmons was an instructor when my dental career started in 1961 at UT Dental School/Houston. He was a very knowledgeable and involved instructor and we became good friends while he was teaching me the art and science of dentistry. On opening my private practice in 1968 on my return from service in the Navy, we reconnected and were ever close until 2016 when Judy and I could no longer travel to San Marcos to visit Sharyn and Fred. We shared teaching duties at the Pankey Institute...

Rest in peace Old Dog.

Occasionally in life you meet someone you like instantly and that fondness grows over time. Fred was a first-class gentleman who represented the highest ethnics and integrity in life. His genuine love of leading others to Christ speaks volumes about this wonderful man. It was my pleasure to know you for a little while.

Dr. Simmons was one of my instructors at the University of Texas Dental Branch from 1974-1978. He was such an inspiration for me. Dr. Crayden Dennard

Dear Simmons Family, We have all shared so many chapters together, and I with "Uncle Fred" it´s hard to know where to begin. He was my dentist who´s dental work still adorns my smile, he was my boss as I worked there at the Village office, we´ve been on numerous quail hunting trips, and most recently I was privileged to see him share his love of faith and dog training at a presentation of "Kingdom Dog." I loved him, saw him as an excellent model for how to be disciplined and do great work,...

Fred was an outstanding dentist, teacher and man. It was a privilege to have him as a friend.

Sharyn, Fred was one of the smartest professors I had in dental school. His knowledge and friendship was great. I came to his office in the village and we enjoyed his diagnostic skills of had best to treat patients. We enjoyed a week at Key Largo at a Pankey Meeting. I will remember Fred as a gentleman and a scholar. SAM WINKELMANN
