Paul Charles Sima's Obituary
Paul Charles Sima was born on August 8, 1929 to the late Michael and Anna Sima.
In his spare time, Paul was known to be an avid boater and fishing enthusiast, and for building aquariums. He also loved watching the Cleveland Indians play. Paul could never pass up an opportunity to dance, especially the Polka. His family jokingly referred to him as the “Fruit Fly” because of his love for fruit. Paul had created his own Sima Language, something his family picked up over the years and will always carry with them.
Paul passed away on May 1, 2022. Devoted husband of Helen Sima. Cherished father of Marilynn (Jerry) Skelton, Lori (Ron) Hilfer, Therese (Greg) Sima, and Michelle Sima. Beloved grandfather of Paul (Marji) Arjil, Melissa Adkisson, and Rachel (Joe) Cretella and great-grandfather of many. Loving brother of Joseph (Ann) Sima and Anne (Paul) Sabol. Uncle to a host of nieces and nephews.
