“In loving memory of Euel Sims Jr., May you be comforted by the outpouring of love surrounding you.. I worked with Euel these last five years, first in my role as nursing supervisor then as nurse manager. I placed many a frantic call to Euel and he always responded. He was supportive to staff and veterans. We will miss him tremendously. We offer thanks to him as a veteran and colleague. Tammy Aiello”

Your Ship is anchored in God's Harbor. And your Shipmates, Seabees of the Lord. Are Mustered on the deck to greet you. And pipe you as you come aboard. Look sharp, that Hand is you, Old Seabee And you'll be sailing out on Heavenly Seas. May the wind be ever at your back. Fair weather, and God speed!”

“My sincerest condolences to the Sims family. I was a food server at the V A , and my day would be brightened when Euel walked in. He always had a smile, . He used to kid with us about his name, not to call him Yule. I know he will be missed by all at the V A”

“Dear Cynthia and family, I worked with Euel at Eastern Mechanical and have stayed in touch with him since he went to the VA and i went to the Danbury Hospital. From time to time, we would get together for breakfast with Pat. We always enjoyed catching up over a meal and shared lots of laughs, job challenges and just life. He was a proud dad and grandfather. I can't express how deeply saddened we are for the loss of your husband, father and my friend. We will be keeping you all in our prayers.”
