Paul was a good man and obviously loved the Lord. I respected him for his excellent and gentle demeanor as well as his resolve to help others.

We are so sorry for your loss. Paul was an amazing man of God. We know he will be missed by so many. You and your family are in our prayers.

Dear Sims family, when I was a young teenager, I heard the Reverend Dr. John Ed Mathison share this story about Mr. Sims.  John Ed said something like, "Mr. Sims was walking down the sidewalk. He was attacked by a man. The only thing he had to defend himself with was a bag of Vienna sausages. The attacker ran away when Mr. Sims hit him on the head with the bag of Vienna sausages."  After the sermon, I walked up to Mr. Sims and said, "Mr. Sims, you sure are brave for fighting off that attacker with a bag of Vienna sausages." Mr. Sims said, "Alex, that wasn't me. That was my father" and started laughing. I can still hear Mr. Sims in my head laughing and encouraging me when I was a teenager until I became a man. Whenever Mr. and Mrs. Sims knows that I'm coming home to visit, they always invite me to church and out to lunch. I am so thankful to have known Mr. Sims. Well done good and faithful servant. P.S. If there's any Vienna sausages in heaven, please save me some, Mr. Sims. Love, Alex Palomaria (Los Angeles, CA)

My dearest Dian,  I cannot tell you how sorry I am for your loss of Paul.  I know your love for him is immense and nothing will be the same without him. But God will keep you and comfort you as only He can do. I love you very much and will be praying for you each day. Debby Ray

Paul was a great dedicated Christian man whose faith was passed to many he came in contact with.  He held my hand and prayed with me before three major surgeries. He will be welcomed by Gods angels. Will be missed by all.

Dian - 

Thinking of you. We know you and Paul have been through a lot the past few years.

You are in our prayers.

Diane,   
You are in our thoughts and prayers.  Paul was a GOOD, Kind, GOD Loving man and a friend.  I enjoyed working with him in the 1980's and felt his influence in my life.  I am sure he is enjoying the life to come and we will see him again, if we are faithful.  God Bless you & yours.

Missing him is so hurtful for his precious family; my heart breaks for each one of them.  Rejoicing for Paul now, who's with Jesus.

You all are in my thoughts and prayers. Paul was such an incredible man! I will miss him greatly. This world is a better place because he lived in it. So many people were blessed by his caring and his visits.❤

Paul was a wonderful example of what a Christian man should be. Daddy (Jerry) loved him like a brother. He was Daddy's "bro." What a glorious reunion they have had. Love to Dian, Paula, and Elizabeth.

Paul was a wonderful Christian loving husband and father and grandfather His addition to heaven rings the bells of joy and brings a big smile from His Heavenly Father and  His Lord & Savior Jesus Christ.

Paul was the perfect example o what Jesus taught about being a servant.  He visited me every time I was in the hospital.  God bless you Paul.

What a Godly man! Our sincerest prayers and thoughts to the Sims family from the Daugherty's.  You "jump started" our walk with our Lord when we first moved next door--many years ago! Erin sends her love also, as I'm sure all your Sunday School kids do!

So sorry about the passing of such a kind and caring man.  He will be greatly missed. My prayers are with Diane and his family.

Paul was a precious man.  Loved his family and his Christian faith. He will be missed by his family, his Church family, and his many dear friends.  Heaven's Gain!!!!

Praying for you all. Mr. Paul was a wonderful, kind, caring man of God. I remember him coming to the hospital to pray with me before surgery, as he did for so many. Our loss is heaven's gain. If anyone heard the Lord say "well done my good and faithful servant" it was Mr. Paul. So many feel the weight of your loss as he meant a lot to all of us who had the great pleasure and privilege of knowing him.

Diane and Paula,
Heaven just became a little brighter as Paul's light, not extinguished, but joining those already lighting heaven and glorifying the Lord. Paul blessed us all with his faithful service. You will miss him, but be comforted by all the promises he and you claim. They were true yesterday, are true true today, and will be true tomorrow, for our God is faithful and true and will surround you with love.

What a wonderful man Paul Sims was and he touched oh so many Lives! He was such a humble man and that is what I always loved about him. Nothing but just simple for him and he liked I thtat way. He never wanted credit for all the things he did because He wanted the glory to go to the Lord! Such a servant! We loved him dearly and I will miss his big hug and big hand when he held mine so many times while praying for a loved one. May the Lord be with you Dian, Paula, and Elizabeth as you prepare to say goodbye to your wonderful husband, father, and poppy! God bless you!

Praying for all of you. Paul was loved by all that knew him & will be missed by everyone, He was a very special man.

Paul was the perfect example of what a Christian should be. He was loved by all and will be missed. Love and prayers to Dian and family. Well done good and faithful Servant✝

Paul was a very caring individual. The Lord had equipped him for his ministry in congregational care. He served with a compassionate heart. He will be missed.

Mr. Sims will be greatly missed.  Remembrance of his kindness and sense of humor will always be in my heart.  My Prayers are with Mrs. Sims and all of her family.  May God Bless and comfort you all.

Thank you, for making my childhood a better place. May you rest in peace. My prayers are with the Sims and Cox families and to all who loved you.

To all the Sims family, Prayers and condolences for the loss of  your precious, Husband, Father, grandfather and to all his friends. I only got to meet Paul once, and I am sorry that I did not meet him, Jewel and all of you years ago! I will be thinking of you all. May God comfort you all.

Dear sweet Uncle Paul, I realize I hadn't seen you in a long time.  I remember the last time we were all together fondly.  I'll cherish the memories of riding your motorcycle,  the trips to the store for candy and your cute smile.  I remember when Dad called to tell you Mom was pregnant with TJ.  Your Uncle Paul reply was, "If you'd been fixing that hole in the driveway, that wouldn't have happened."  You are going to be greatly missed by Aunt Jewel, your children,  your grandchildren and Sophie.  Your one of those men I just never imagined not being here on Earth.  But you are right where I hope to be one day.  Until we meet again ... Deena

I miss you Dad...but all is going to be alright.
You have mi corazón 
Love,
Frek
