MICHAEL LYNN SIMMONS…Gonna miss you dad. You’re the only father I ever had. These past few years were enjoyable as I stopped by on my trips through Indianapolis, IN. If you see mama, tell her we love, and miss her as well.
Lewie, you are one of a kind, you were always busy & mostly outside. I think you probably used more spray paint than anyone could imagine, if someone gave you something, spray paint it. If you found something, spray paint it.
You were a kind Man, loved by many.
