Joe Simms (1929-2013)

 

Willie Joe Simms, age 84 of Frisco, Texas passed away after a brief illness on September 26, 2013 in Plano, Texas. He was born on August 14, 1929 in the small East Texas town of Pickton, just outside ofSulphur Springs, surrounded by a houseful of relatives. In his teens, Joe managed a soda fountain. At the age of eighteen, he began working at Oak Cliff Bank in Dallas, Texas, where he continued to work for 45 years until his retirement. He and his wife, Martha, loved to travel and went on an Alaskan cruise just a few years ago. His joy in later years was his grandson, Jackson, who loved his Paw-Paw. Joe was very private about his life and was generally a quiet man but had the wry Passmore humor inherited from his mother’s family. He was loved and respected by all who knew him and will be deeply missed.

Joe is survived by his wife, Martha; daughters and sons-in-law, Nancy and Charles Smith and Monica and Aubrey Smith; grandson, Jackson Smith; sisters and brothers-in-law, Phyllis and Bill Elrod, Shirley and Charles Mitchell, their families and numerous cousins.

The family will receive friends at Turrentine-Jackson-Morrow Funeral Home in Frisco on Sunday, September 28, 2013 beginning at 1:00 PM with a Funeral Service following the Visitation at 2:00 PM.
