It is with sadness that the Simmens family announces the passing of William Donald Simmens at the Englehart Hospital on September 29, 2024.
Affectionately known to family and friends as Bill, he is predeceased by his wife Lorna Jane, daughter Ronda, his parents Donald and Lillian, his brother Robert and sister Donna. He is survived by his brother Pat (Val), brother Clifford, his children, Jackie (Joe), John (Jerry), Dan (Janice). He is also survived by his Grandchildren Chuck, Shannon, William, Nicholas, Matthew, Sarah, Stephanie and Mitchell, and his many great grandchildren.
Bill was born on April 28th, 1936, in North Bay and his family settled in Englehart during his youth. He spent 35 years working in the signal department of the Ontario Northland Railway. Bill was especially known for his love of cars and owned his own small used car business: Custom Sales and Service.
Bill was also a dedicated volunteer in our community for over 30 years and always made time to support families in need. He was often seen caring for others by helping our local food bank, connecting directly with those who needed a little more support. He was a kind and giving man who was always ready to lend a hand. Bill loved his family deeply and like his community, was present to assist his children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren in any way that he could. He was often found acting as chauffeur for his grandchildren, ferrying them about and always, through his deep connection to them, had many funny stories to recount about his time with them.
There is a celebration of Bill’s life and legacy to be held at Dan and Janice’s house 355192 Highway 624 on Saturday October 5, 2024, anytime after 12 noon to share your cherished memories and moments spent with Bill. Please feel free to join us to remember this wonderfully cherished man. In lieu of flowers to honour Bill’s legacy, please feel free to donate to your local food bank as this was a community resource that meant the utmost to him.
