Deepest sympathy to Roseann, Bob, Chris, Nikki and their families.  So saddened to hear of Bob' s passing.  Bob had a way of pulling friends and family together.  He was always encouraging in getting  high school buddies together for reunions and get togethers.   I will always be grateful for the words  and memories he shared at Tony Shafers memorial service and I am deeply sorry I wasn't there for Bobs.  Although he's no longer here, I like to think of him reunited with his parents and siblings and high school buddies who have passed and still rooting for Memphis State and the Giants from heaven.
With sincere condolences,
Barbara Shafer and family

I was just informed about Bob's passing and I'm shocked.
I did business with Bob for years. He was a great guy and a good friend who I maintained contact with after I moved to South Florida.
Condolences to the entire Sims family from Steve Kayne.

So very sorry to hear of Bobby's passing.  We were high school classmates and we just had a meeting last Thursday to discuss our upcoming 59th mini reunion and I made myself a note to call Bob this week to see if he was coming.  I sat with he and Tony at the last few mini reunions and we caught up and laughed about about our high school years.  Bobby was a great guy who always spoke so fondly of his family.  My deepest condolences to all of you.

to the family of bobby sims; as a red bank high class of '64 classmate, we always looked forward to seeing  him and sharing memories of our younger days.  his stories and  his car stories among other subjects were his way of livening up the parties.  i valued his friendship, distant that it was in later years.  he truly cared about the legacy of our class especially sports.   we had hoped to see him at our mini-59th reunion in two weeks.  he will be remembered.  i will keep him in my thoughts and prayers.     paul david roman, shrewsbury

We were good friends in High School and I was looking forward to seeing him this summer but poor health got in the way.  

Actually, Bob and I caught up for the first time since high school at the Fiftieth reunion for Red Bank High School a while back.  Bob will always be remembered as one of the nicest guys you could ever know.  When I first moved to Red Bank, and not knowing anyone, he reached out and befriended me and helped show me around, etc.  Over those few years outside of school we worked together nights and weekends (Shop-Rite)  and summer jobs around the area and even dated girls from the same town (Deal, NJ) and of course double dated a lot.  

I always appreciated his kind, welcoming style and the fact that he always saw what was good in everyone else.  He will be missed and I know how much he looked forward to the HS reunions as he enjoyed catching up with and getting to see everyone at those events.  I know he was looking forward to the upcoming one as well 

Our condolences to his wife Rosie and family, his son was recently married last June and he was able to attend the wedding which was his last public event – so glad he was able to be there.

Rest in Peace Bob!
