John, you were inspirational in life, spreading laughter and wisdom to all who listened. We traveled and spoke together and I always left our meetings with a new zest for the tasks at hand. 
To say you will be missed is an understatement of fact. In a world of darkness you brought sunshine. RIP John, you may be gone but you will not be forgotten.
Your comrade,
Gene Lopez

Mr. Simpkins was a devoted three-term President of the Belmont Lake Civic Association and a longtime homeowner whose leadership, service, and unwavering commitment helped shape and strengthen our community. His dedication to Belmont Lake Estates and the residents he faithfully served leaves a legacy that will be remembered for generations.

As we mourn this tremendous loss, we extend our heartfelt condolences to the Simpkins family. We humbly ask our members, neighbors, and friends to keep the Simpkins family in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

May Mr. Simpkins rest in eternal peace, and may his family find comfort in the love, prayers, and support of our community.
