Dear Friends-

I have written in many of my post a'bout great deals found at

Simmons Sporting Goods
2001- 2nd AVE North
Bessemer, AL 35020
PX: (205) 425-4720


Well, I feel its my duty too report that one of the co-owners Mr. Barry
Simmons, age 44 of the famed family was gravely injured in a one car
MVA a'bout 2130 hrs on Oct. 13th, 06. Reports state that he suffered
a brain anuersyum while driving his vechile to a friends house; causing
the vechile too accelerate and veer widly out of control, striking a
dirt culvert about 3' wide by 4.5' deep and finally embedding its-self
into some huge boulders alongside the culvert.

Its my understanding, that Barry is legally brain dead; either from the
anuersyum or possibly the broken neck he suffered during the crash.
Thankfully, no other persons were injured in this accident. The decision
is too be made soon, as to cut off all life support as proper organ
recipients are being located. Barry leaves behind a lovely wife (Gina)
and a 1-1/2 year old son (Caleb).

The Simmons family is known world-wide for their kindness, love, and
generosity to everyone that they come in contact with. This family
owned and operated business has strived here in the southeast since
the early 1900's; with Barry's mother (Mrs. Betty Simmons) still an active
partner in the business. I simply ask all of our faithful THR members to
hit their knees tonight and ask that GOD speed too the Simmons family,
and to bless each of them in this time of need. Respectfully, and many
thanks to each of you, and may you too have a blessed day,
 
Cruel irony, that being Friday the thirteenth and all.

He has my prayers.
 
Done.

Thanks to Barry and his family for the willingness to donate his organs. If not for this kind of selflessness, I would have bought the farm a long time ago.

Vaya con Dio. :(
