I'm very sorry that I only met Simon a couple of times but it was obvious that he was a kind and generous gentleman as so many have said.
RIP Simon.

Sad news
Spoke to him a few times via PM over the years, he certainly came across as one of life's genuine people
RIP

Tragic news. Met him a few times at the old Waterman meets and he couldn't have been more welcoming. Thoughts are with his family and friends.

It's been a long time since I've been here, very sad news to hear one of the great guys on this forum is no longer with us. Mr Simba, as everyone has said,was a true gentleman. Simon always took new VX'ers under his wing and made them feel welcome and went out of his way to help, anytime and anywhere!
RIP Simon, you will be truly missed in the world.

He was a really welcoming friendly guy.

Hello all.
His unexpected death is still sinking in with everyone that were close to Simon, but as I promised, they have set up a just giving page if any of you would like to leave a message his parents can see and donate to a fab cause that was close to Simons heart.

A perfect gent, one of life's reasons why not to worry too much, as you always knew he would be there to help if you got stuck. We shared our OCD's on cleaning our VX's on a few occasions and i know that i came away all the better for the experience.
Lovely man with a heart of gold.
You will be greatly missed my friend...

Good Afternoon Good Sir.
Thank you my friend. I'm here to stay, I've been sorting out all those things that 'get in the way' and, whilst not exactly great, have managed a balance of sorts.
Thank you again...
