Robert Thomas Sims Jr. December 25, 1952 - December 28, 2015 Rancho Santa Fe Robert Thomas Sims Jr., passed away Monday, December 28, 2015 in Arcadia, California, surrounded by his family. Bob grew up in Edina, Minnesota, and was extremely proud of his Midwestern roots and values.Bob's passion was real estate and he spent his life developing projects ranging from single family homes to luxury senior communities in Texas and California. If you asked him, he never worked a day in his life.Bob was a proud and devoted father and was "blessed" with four daughters who were the apples of his eye. He taught them that they had value and inspired them to maximize their potential; they reciprocated with their adoration and loyalty to him. If you want to see a twinkle in his eyes and listen to him talk with pride for hours just ask, "How are the girls?"Bob was predeceased by his parents, Robert and Gloria Sims. He is survived by his four daughters, Morgan Elizabeth, Devon Adair, Shelby Lee and Taylor Sue; his adoring partner, Reni Rose, and her daughter, Chelsea; grandchildren, Charlee Grace and Jack Thomas; and siblings, Mari Sullivan, Lisa Carrico, Tom Sims, William Sims, Mike Sims and Mark Sims.Bob truly was larger than life. He was the life of every party, the center of every conversation, and more often than not, the most handsome man in the room. His crooked smile, his quirky dimples, and his incredibly big heart will be dearly missed by all those who loved him. His service will be held on February 19, 2016, at 1:00 pm PT at Mater Dolorosa in Sierra Madre, CA, followed by a celebration of his life. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorials be sent to Team USA in support of the US Women's Paralympic Swimming Team.
