I only met Jim recently when he took over the cafeteria duties at TRUMPF. I was very lucky to have him sit near me in the office. Every morning he would always greet me and we would spend a few minutes talking. He was truly a wonderful man and will me greatly missed. May God have him in his safe keeping.

Dear Mary and Family,
I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of your Jimmy. I had seen him a few times with my husband Peter when Jim was catering antique shows we attended. It was a pleasure to see him and share news of our families. I will remember him as a kind and gentle man.
Much love and sympathy,
(Lesti Loxsom)

To the Simmons Family,
I'm so sorry to learn of your sudden loss of your brother Jimmy. Although I didn't know him as an adult as my family did, I certainly remember him as a young boy. I know he'll be missed by you all, and so many.
The friendship of your family to ours has been a gift in our lives - beginning with our Moms, Millie and Ruth on Vine Street - that has lasted more than 50 years. Part of our family lore is the story of "Billy and Johnny" playing "plumbers in the dirt." I remember David organizing kickball games in the neighborhood, and of course Pam and Mary Ruth's long friendship.
Bless you all, and may the love of friends and family, and happy memories of Jim ease the hard parts in the time ahead.
Warm Wishes to All
Suzanne Loxsom Carley and husband Jay Carley

Mary and John,
Chris and I send our love and condolences. We are so sorry for for loss. What a flood of happy memories though at the mention of Jimmy's name-- basketball at St. James, sledding at Academy Hill, Center School, Broad Street-- and the special friendship he had with our sister Jennifer.
Love,
John and Chris Loxsom

Dear Mary: The last I saw you was at my mom's funeral. Jimmy was with you. What a great visit we had at that time. I am so sorry for your loss. I know how precious your Jimmy was to you all. I know because my brothers are precious to me as well. Our family's are connected by our mother's wonderful friendship. I thank God for you - that you were my very first friend. There is always time to rekindle our friendship too. Let's be sure this time to figure out a get-together-plan. My son's H. S. graduation is on the 28th in the AM - I will have to see you sometime after. I apologize for not being able to be with you at the funeral home. We will talk soon. My deepest condolences go out to you at this time. [(P.S.): My husband's brother, Ward McEachern, just died on the 22nd of June. He was the same age as Jimmy. I heard about Jimmy at his funeral, yesterday, from Billy.] Love to you and to John. Hey Mary, do you want a tomato? Pam Loxsom McEachern

As a child growing up, I spent so much time over at the Simmons house, that it seemed like a second home. I remember Jim like another younger brother. He used to frequently visit my mom to cheer her up when she was alone after the passing of my dad. He was a kind and thoughtful man that will be missed by everyone who knew him.
