Sim may have been a fire fighter by profession, but he was Santa Claus to our family for 30 years! The Shannon, Mathews and Archer families gathered at our house and awaited his arrival every Christmas Eve. He was WONDERFUL...sitting in the old chair by the tree giving a gift to each child. The living room would be a sea of camera flashes. As the years began to dim Santa's eyes, someone would prompt him with the child's name on the gift.   We loved that he always gave his time on Christmas Eve to bring lasting joy to the adults, kids and then their kids! (The children only learned Sim's identity when they turned 18!) 
Sim is in our hearts, memories and photos every Dec. 24.
With love to our favorite Santa,
Jim and Judy
