Sims –<\/b>
\n William Sims,<\/span>
\n<\/i> 82, Juni 26, 2015, huko Syracuse, NY Bill alizaliwa mnamo Septemba 26, 1933, katika Jiji la Yazoo, Miss. Aliishi maisha mazuri na yenye matunda licha ya kufungwa kwa muda mrefu kwenye magereza yenye ulinzi mkali, akiwa ametumikia kifungo cha miaka 43 kifungo cha maisha. Kukubalika kwa Mkutano wa Poplar Ridge (NY) na kukaribishwa kwake kuwa mwanachama kulikuwa chanzo maalum cha furaha kwake na kwa mkutano huo. <\/span><\/p>\n

Alihudhuria kwa mara ya kwanza mkutano wa ibada mwaka wa 1975 ndani ya Gereza la Auburn katika mkutano wa kwanza kabisa wa ibada uliofanyika katika gereza lolote la jimbo la New York. Alikua mhudhuriaji mwaminifu na msaidizi wa kikundi cha ibada katika Gereza la Auburn na alihudumu kama karani kwa miaka mingi. Mnamo 1978, Mkutano wa Mkoa wa Farmington-Scipio ulitoa hadhi ya maandalizi ya mkutano kwa kikundi. Mwaka huo huo, alihudhuria warsha ya Mradi Mbadala kwa Vurugu (AVP) huko Auburn. Katika miaka iliyofuata aliwezesha warsha na kutoa mawasiliano na kujenga uaminifu muhimu kwa mafanikio ya programu. Bill alikuwa painia. Kuna programu zinazoendelea za AVP katika magereza 18 ya jimbo la New York na vikundi vya ibada vya Quaker katika magereza 11 ya jimbo la New York leo. Wasimamizi na walinzi wa magereza, wafungwa, na wafanyakazi wa kujitolea wa Quaker\/AVP wote walimwamini. Aliunda urafiki wa karibu na marafiki wengi wa nje katika mkoa huo. <\/span><\/p>\n

Hakuwa na nguvu, hana rasilimali, na mawasiliano machache na simu. Lakini kwa uwezo uliopendekezwa na nukuu ya Quaker, ”Hebu tuone upendo unaweza kufanya nini,” alipata digrii ya bachelor kutoka Chuo Kikuu cha Syracuse na digrii ya uzamili kutoka Chuo Kikuu cha Buffalo akiwa gerezani. Alisitawisha ustadi wa ajabu wa kisanii na alipenda kuwatumia marafiki zake kadi za salamu zilizotengenezwa kwa mikono, sikuzote akiandika ujumbe wake kwenye kichocheo na kuacha sehemu ya ndani ikiwa wazi ili rafiki huyo aitumie kama mpya. Alikutana, kuchumbiana, na kuoa Dorothy Gowin, mshiriki wa Mkutano wa Syracuse (NY). <\/span><\/p>\n

Dorothy alikufa kabla ya Bill. Ameacha watoto wawili, Darrell Sims (Marianne) na Anola Gowin; wajukuu wawili; ndugu watano, Robert Ratliff (Lillian), Larry Johnson, Elester Johnson, Richard Johnson, na Robert Sims; na dada wanne, Clara Johnson, Artena Ahammer, Synetta Sleet, na Mary Lela Sims. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
