To the Simms Family from the St Louis family please accept our sincere condolences for your loss. Fred was a wonderful human being, sharing everything he had with others. He loved life and I spent many hours with him having drinks and yarning about all manner of things. We will miss his wonderful smile and all the things that he shared with us.

Sincere condolences to the family of Mr. Simms.
It was my great honour and privilege to have worked at A J Matthews Elementary under the strong leadership and caring guidance of Mr. Simms. He was a true professional who demonstrated dedication to his job and he supported the students and staff of Burgeo every day. Through our cards and phone calls over the years, Mr. Simms talked loving and proudly of his children and his entire family. His work ethic and commitment to being an active citizen, a good neighbour, a loyal friend and a family man was so apparent to anyone who knew him. So sorry to hear of his sudden passing. To the family... I trust you all find strength in each other and cherish the many memories with your amazing dad. Take care. Dianne Devin and family

We’re so heart broken to hear this sad news. Condolences and hugs to all in your wonderful family. I saw him just a short time before his untimely passing outside his home doing what he loved and that was keeping things tidy out around the door. Certainly shocked me to say the least and I know this must have been quite a shock to you all. Growing up a few houses away from Mr. Simms and great friends with his children for most of my life. I will truly miss him and he was a man among men no doubt. Loved by all that knew him. Dad will miss you coming by on surprise with a bucket of Caplin or what ever it may be. He is one of only a couple left in the harbour now.RIP my friend.

I was so very saddened to hear about the passing of your Dad and father in law. No time to prepare, no time to say good bye is so very hard. He enjoyed life to the fullest and brought so much happiness to people around him. You have made so many wonderful memories with him and he will always be with you but unfortunately you cannot touch him, see his smile, hear his laughter and his jokes but every day he will pop into your head and say it is OK as I am with you.

I’m so very sorry for your loss. Since as early as I can remember, Mr Simms greeted me any my family as soon as we pulled up to my grandparents house, across the street from his his. I don’t have a single memory of Burgeo that doesn’t include him. He was a wonderful person and I’m very sorry to hear of his passing. I will miss his welcoming wave and smile.

I’m shocked and saddened to hear about your Dad’s passing. Whenever I met him I was always struck by how he never seemed to age. I had the pleasure of working with him at AJ Matthews where he was a dedicated and kind principal who had the best interests of his students and staff at heart. He was a gentle man. May your memories of your Dad sustain you at this difficult time in your lives.

George, Christa, Graham,Fred and families. I was so saddened and shocked to hear that Uncle Fred had passed.
I loved him so very much. He was such a gentle, intelligent, kind and loving man. He was truly special. His great wit and strong faith were two of his most wonderful qualities. I still can't believe he is gone, but if anyone has earned a spot in heaven, it would be him. I take comfort in thinking of him with my Dad and Aunt Roberta once again. God bless you all as you navigate without him, but trust me, he is not far away.
Hugs to you all, Susan Hepditch
