PHILIP DOUGAL SIMMONS
He will be sadly missed by his loving wife Mabel, of 56 years; children, Paul (Janet), Maureen (Mark), Audrey (Robert), and Jennifer; and grandchildren, Deidre, Jarett, Breanna, Taylor, Anthony, Naomi, Nadine, and Andrea.
Born in Montego Bay, Jamaica November 15, 1938, he immigrated to England in 1962 and moved to Canada in 1974. He worked for the Winnipeg Transit for 26 years retiring in January 2001.
Right up to his last few days Philip enjoyed watching baseball and football. He had a wonderful sense of humour and was a kind and loyal person. His unconditional love for his wife, children, and grandchildren brought him unlimited happiness.
Dearly loved and forever missed, we are all richer for having had him touch our lives.

I didn't know Phil all that well, but he was certainly warm and gracious whenever we spoke. I know that he was highly respected by his fellow bus drivers - myself included - and his passing will no doubt leave a void in all their hearts. - Posted by: Robert Martin (Fellow Bus Driver) on: Oct 27, 2021

He is the father of one of my dearest friends and I remember his sense of humour well. He used to also drive one of my bus routes to University and always had a funny story for me. My deepest condolences for the Simmons family and their loss. - Posted by: susana segura (Friend of daughter) on: Sep 29, 2021

Rest easy Phil you will be truly missed, my Sunday calls from you about the Falcons winning or losing. I love you and will miss you to pieces. Robert as you called me the falconiser. Thanks for all the love. R.I.P. - Posted by: Robert Moore (Son-in-law) on: Sep 29, 2021
