Robin and I go back lver 60 hears to Bank of Montreal Brandon. Although seperated by transfers we always managed to get together. Seattle Worlds Fair in 1962 and then best man at my marriage driving all the way from Winnipeg to Aurora Ont. Wonderful visits by Louise and Robin for years afterwards. Miss you Buddy!

Dear Louise, Jason and Marissa

I want to give you my heartfelt sympathy...I am so sorry to learn of Robin's passing on. May he rest in peace forever.

We were neighbors for a few years in Winnipeg and I have fond memories of spending time with you Louise, and Robin.

Please know that my heart is with you...having had to travel this journey myself, I understand the grief you are feeling. I know it sounds rather cliche, but Time does help to ease the sorrow. Beautiful memories are what help tremendously.

Take care of yourselves and each other.

Sincere condolences from Alex James and I. I worked with Robin at Manitoba Hydro. Always had his briefcase close by. While very serious about his work I managed to make him laugh a few times over silly accounting jokes. Always a pleasure to deal with.

My first Job was with the Bank of Montreal in a a little town called Kelliher in Saskatchewan. He was driving a Baracuda and offered to have it loaded on a trailer for the Canada Day parade. I was driving the tractor and took a sharp turn and almost tipped it. Robin was the assistant manager and I have always had fond memories of him.

Our sincere condolences on your loss Louise and Jason. We have fond memories of the Bright Oaks days.

Wow ....it's been a minute. And here we are putting our fathers to rest.

Jason , Marissa and Mrs. Simmons,

My family and I are so sorry for your loss of a father and husband , far too soon.

...I can still feel the plush velvet of a brand new Chrysler Fifth Avenue with its crystal hood ornament that I just wanted to rip off and wear around my neck ....Mr Simmons cars in the 80's and 90's were a stark contrast to my mother's Ford Tempo.

He was a reserved man of few words , I honestly don't think I we ever had a conversation. You knew tho ( always prepared and one step ahead ) while looking after us boys, a smartly dressed ( dapper but sensible ) generous yet frugal dad would show up 15 min before the official end of the night to drive us home. His military precision being both a blessing and a curse to boys who thought they knew everything yet knew nothing.

Thank you for being a solid , genuine , cool in his own way, humble man of faith Mr Simmons.

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let Your perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed rest in peace.

Praying God gives comfort and peace at this time of mourning a life well lived.

Louise and family,

Mavis and I are very sorrry that Robin passed so suddenly. It was always a pleasure to chat with him on our respective driveways.

Having curled for him in the hydro league (he was the skip), I found him to be a very skilled curler. I also enjoyed golfing with him.

Robin was a principled person who knew right from wrong, and lived his life accordingly. May God give you the strength to deal with the difficult days ahead. With sincere sympathy.
