Uncle Jimmy we are saddened with your passing. You would entertain us for hours of fascinating conversations of your career, travels, inventions and the history of our family in the circus. You were a very thoughtful uncle and we loved you dearly. You are missed.

Jim Simmers,
A magician's magician. A creative man who was always willing to help, advise, create, inspire,...
Jim could be seen at nearly ALL of the important magic events.
Known and highly respected Jim's importance to magic and fellow magicians was held in very high esteem. His passing is a GREAT loss to the entire magic community.
May his magic live on and on and his name spoken in love and fondness.
God Bless him for everything he created, built, shared and did in his amazing life which was filled with 1000's of friends.
Thank you Jim!
