Harold Glen Simms

We are losing our WWII veterans quickly now. They are such wonderful people who served our country during a very difficult time. I did not know Harold personally, but I do have one of his books that he graciously sent me a few years ago about his time in the service. It is special to me in so many ways. Harold certainly was an exceptional man, and another great hero lost to us to eternity. May his memory live on not only in his family but in the hearts of each one of us who got to know...

I am sorry that I have just learned of Harold's passing. He and I corresponded about our shared family histories for many years but never met in person. My last correspondence was earlier this year about attendance at a Simms family reunion in Newfoundland in 2019. I will miss our correspondence and regret never having gotten the chance to meet. Deepest condolences to all of family.

To Harold's Family,
I am just hearing of Harold's death.....too late to be with you and share my gratitude for the few occasions Harold and I spent together.

May the loving care from God and the family memories comfort you at this time of loss.
John 3:16

Offering my condolences. As you remember your love one, may Almighty God and your treasured memories bring you peace, comfort, and strength to endure. (Psalm 147:3)

To all of Harold's loved ones,

I knew him best for the years he spent on the school committee. He was a very dedicated, hard-working, caring man.

His obituary allowed me a chance to know of the many wonderful things he accomplished in his life. I am so sorry I was not able to attend the wake and funeral. Know that you all are in my thoughts and prayers.

Thinking of you in your loss,

To Harold's sons and to all their families,
Harold was a dear lifelong friend. He and I were the last 2 members of the old Young Adult Group. I am so sorry to hear of his passing, and I have you all in my thoughts.

With my love,

To all of the Simms family, with sincere sympathy in your loss. Mr. Simms was an accomplished man and highly respected. We have a lot of fond and fun memories growing up at Simms Boat Yard on our boat "Easy Red".

May peace be with you all.
