Robert “Mr. Bob” Simon left us on January 26, 2021. A long-time volunteer in La Vergne, you would often see Mr. Bob grilling burgers at city events, directing traffic for parades, or giving people his friendly hugs! He always carried candy in his pocket for children, who he adored.

We wrote about him and his good deeds in 2019. Read from his own words here.

Here is his obituary.

Our heartfelt sympathies are extended to his family and loved ones.

One person said about Bob, “Literally the sweetest man ever.” Another said, “The Man, the Legend.” Both are accurate. Rest in peace, dear friend.
