My memories of Mr. Simmons are of him working in his lovely yard. He always had a hello and a friendly wave. He would snowblow my parents driveway. He helped teach me what it means to be a neighbor, in the best sense of the word. We were blessed to have him. May God comfort you in this time of sorrow and may your yard bloom again in the spring for all to enjoy.
