Albert Arthur Simmons

Albert Arthur Simmons, age 43, was born on May 20, 1970 and began his next journey of life on May 10, 2014 and now feels complete peace and serenity. Al lived his life completely submerged in passion, laughter and love. To know him was to love him and he was loved by many. His life's purpose was helping others and sharing happiness. He spent many years developing his spiritual nature and encouraging others to do so as well. We pray that his contagious spirit lives on through all who knew and loved him. Albert is survived by his life partner, Bob Reardon, his mother and father Laura and Jerry Simmons, His siblings; Billy Simmons, Kim (Bill) Hill and Dottie Simmons; his nieces and nephews Dustin, Katelynn, Alyssa, Riley, Lauren, Jaden and Dallas as well as his grandfather, Arthur Bastifell and his aunts Janet Bastifell and OraLee Hollingsworth as well as many cousins who he love dearly. His legacy will surely live through his co-worker family at the Concord Counseling Center where he worked as a Case Manager. He was welcomed into God's kingdom by Jesus and his adoring grandmother, Dorothy Bastifell and is joined in heaven by his paternal grandmother, Edyth Simmons and many other aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
