Richard Simmons was buried in his iconic 'tank top and shorts,' his brother says
Briefly

"I want to let you all in on a little secret: Richard is wearing his tank top and shorts underneath his clothes just in case God's final plan for him is to get all the angels and saints in Heaven into shape," said Lenny Simmons, reflecting Richard’s lifelong commitment to fitness even in death.
"Dicky and I had a happy childhood... He said he wanted to help people. But before he went to the seminary, he changed his mind," shared Lenny Simmons, illustrating Richard's early desire to contribute positively to the lives of others.
"At the age of 26, Richard Simmons finally knew what God wanted him to do. He wanted Richard to help people, motivate people, encourage people to get healthy and lose weight and get fit and have fun doing it," Lenny Simmons stated, capturing the essence of Richard's life mission.
"His infectious personality and humor brought in more customers to the little restaurant. They all loved Richard Simmons," Lenny recalled, emphasizing how Richard's charm resonated with those around him, setting the stage for his future successes.
