Robert C. Simmons

Seeing the photo of Bob reading Cheese Deluxe at Island Books, MI reminded me of what a great orator he was. My husband and I had seen August: Osage County put on by the Seattle Rep. In talking with Bob - he played the father who shows up at the end of this tragicomedy play that won a Pulitzer Prize for drama in 2008. We both laughingly agreed the play sticks with one. He was such a talent - and a great broadcast journalist and commentator at KING-5. A gift to the northwest in so many...

Bob was one of my favorite Barbershoppers. He was fun to be around and always full of wisdom. He will be missed.

Reading by Rob - seeking Bob's videos from KING (206) 660-6783 Darlene please call.

So sorry to hear of Bob's passing. Take good care of yourself. Hope o see you at the block party. Love Donna Saunders.

What a wonderful man - thoughtful, smart and so talented. KING-TV alums miss him. Wishing the family the comfort of sweet memories.

I am so sorry for your loss. Please allow the fondest memories shared with your loved one be a soothing blanket over your heart. May God words of comfort found in Mathew 11:28 help you through this difficult time. ~MM~

Wise, well-read, erudite and
gentlemanly. One of the shining examples of KING TV's ability to make the best hires back in the day.

Bob and I seemed to be on the same time schedule at the YMCA Gym. I kept noticing this guy with a familiar face that I couldn't quite place so I finally asked him who he was and why he was familiar. After a few minutes of back and forth it hit me, he did editorials for KING 5 News. So when we met on subsequent trips, we shared a few views. While we were from opposite political polls, I found him to be a person I enjoyed talking to. Fair winds old friend.

A wonderful friend and boon companion who is greatly missed.
