Fonda shared memories of Simmons always wanting to make people happy, even speculating on whether his own unhappiness as a child drove him to spread joy to others. She recalled his gestures of kindness, including surprising her at an event by popping out of a cake and running across a store to greet her. Despite losing touch with Simmons as he withdrew from public life, Fonda, like many others, mourned his absence and sent him love in his final years. Upon Simmons' peaceful passing at age 76, his brother urged people to remember his brother's joy and love, emphasizing his caring nature. As the fitness world mourns the loss of an icon, Simmons' legacy of spreading happiness lives on.
