I just saw Randolph Sims' obituary in the paper. I am so sorry to hear of his passing. He and Mr. Babb built our house in Locust Grove in 1980. He was a wonderful, skilled contractor and carpenter. We have enjoyed our well built house through all these years. He also built my parents', my sister's,my cousin's and three of my aunts' homes in LG. He was easy to work with, always had a smile on his face and a good story to tell. So thankful he had a good long life. Our sympathy goes out to his loving family. Sincerely, Betty and Rod Shearouse, Locust Grove, GA

It was an honor and privilege to take care of Mr. Sims as his nurse in his final weeks. Not only was he a kind and honest man I always looked forward to visits from his warm and friendly family. I'm thankful to have met the Sims family and cared for their patriarch. You all made me feel like family and I thank you.

Bobby and family,
Sorry to hear about the passing of your father. I know he will be greatly missed. I never met your dad, but he had to be a great father because it shows in you. The joy and laughter you share with people around you had to have came from him. From the pictures he enjoyed life. Just know we are here for you and if you need anything just let us know.
