I'd like to express my deepest sympathies to Simon's family; hoping your grief is short and buoyed by the phenomenal amount of goodness Simon brought into, and spread around, our world.
I got to see Simon's slide presentation on 2 occasions; very uplifting and enjoyable for all who attended. He also stayed with me for a couple nights on his swing through the S.F. Bay area. I greatly enjoyed his company and his keen wit and personality. I'm very fortunate to have had the opportunity to meet and hang out with Simon. He was, and is, a great man. Farewell my friend; Godspeed on your continued travels.
