Rev. John Patrick Simpson Jr.

John, I love you -- you were the best seminary friend... and a great "best man" at my wedding... (even if that one didn't last). Blessings on you John.... keep a room comfy for us there.

John, you were a great friend..... I remember those beers at your house over lunch in seminary, with Geoffrey bouncing in the Jolly Jumper while we solved the problems of Dr. Mollegen's theology.
I just read of your passing in the VTS journal. See you on the other side brother.
Your friend and classmate,
Len Freeman+

I am so sorry to hear of John's passing. I enjoyed my visits to your home in previous years. John was always so nice.

This is a few weeks late, but.... John and I were fellow Alpha Chi Rhos at Temple University way way back in the day. He was chapter president the year after I graduated. Also a frequent attendee at our informal fraternity lunch reunions in Feasterville. I'd heard from John re his January surgeries and he expressed optimism about recovery. RIP fellow Crow.

I was both surprised and saddened to learn about John's demise in the Philadelphia Inquirer. His age surprised me,too. Let me extend my most sincere sympathy on his passing.
I met John at a Society of American Baseball Research (SABR) meeting many years ago. He and I were both friends of a paraplegic SABR member named Ron Johnson.I remember John doing such a fine job of officiating at his memorial service. We had a chance to chat at the reception which followed the service.

You have our deepest sympathies. We pray in your behalf, and we look forward to the day when we will welcome back our loved ones on a Paradise earth. Psm 37:29

As tears turn into memories and memories into smiles,may you be amazed just how much love a broken can hold.

Rest in peace uncle john .
You were a good man and it was a privilege to have you in our family.
You will be forever missed by myself and our family.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.
