JIM SIMMONS

Condolences & Memories (11 entries)

• Jim was a very, kind and competent Director at his job. Jim was a pleasure and resourceful person, who I felt more than priviledged to work with. Jim was a very, effective Director, who oftentimes, would come around to see how things were progressing in the job. Kindness and wit were his specialty when I worked around him. I would be cracking jokes and he would burst out in laughs. I miss his leadership while I was his subordinate while I worked in the Power House, at the former Fort Osborne Complex, on Tuxedo Blvd. Condolences to all those, whose hearts were touched by Jim. - Posted by: RANDY FISHER (Former co-worker ) on: Dec 26, 2021

• Met Jim through our common love of motorcycles many years ago. Jim was always an interesting and knowledgeable person to talk to. I will always remember how his eyes would light up when he spoke of his latest acquisition. One of the really nice guys I have known in my life time. Rest in peace Jim, you'll be missed. My heartfelt condolences to Susan and all of the family. - Posted by: John Prest (Friend) on: Jul 24, 2012

• We were surprised to hear of Jim's passing away so suddenly. We will miss him very much but not as much as you will. He was too young to leave us, but at least he did not have to suffer. - Posted by: John & Rita Zabarylo (friends) on: Jul 23, 2012

• I met Jim about 40 years ago when we were both very young. He was always great fun to be with, a great dance partner, and a source of much information. He had this thing he used to say all the time that is better left off this page but I'm sure all who knew him know what I'm talking about. Although over the years we have pretty much lost contact Jim will always hold a special place in my memories and in my heart. My condolences to his family. - Posted by: Lori Fredborg (Friend) on: Jul 23, 2012

• Sad indeed. 15 years ago I met Jim while working at Headingley jail after the riots. At first glance I was sure the inmates were still in control when I arrived. I soon found out how wrong I was as Jim proved to be a wealth of information and experience for me right up until his passing. I appreciate all his guidance and friendship on the Women's jail and all the advancements at Milner Ridge. Jim was one of a kind. Cheers - Posted by: Wayne Armstrong (Colleague) on: Jul 23, 2012
