Sim E. Safford

SHEBOYGAN, Wisconsin — Sim E. Safford, 60, of Sheboygan, passed away unexpectedly on Friday, May 13, 2022 after long term health issues. Sim was born in Upper Michigan to the late Thomas and Georgianna Safford and grew up in Rapid River. He graduated from Rapid River High School and continued his education at Lakeland College where he earned four bachelor’s degrees and eventually his master’s in education. While in college he worked for New York Life Insurance and for Orkin but found his passion as a teacher and coach at South High School. Sim was an outstanding father to his two daughters which were raised in Kohler, where Sim resided for 20 years of his life. As a part of the Mighty Hunters of Mahskeekee Lake, Sim was an avid hunter, fisherman, and had a passion for the outdoors. He also loved golfing and coached several other school sports as well as being famously known for announcing at many of South High School’s sporting events. He will always be remembered as the caring man who would give you his shirt off his back, as the man with the repeated (yet somehow always just as funny) stories, and as the man who always could be counted on to make you smile.
