    Not close friends, after over twenty years. But friends nonetheless and when we got together the years disappeared in a flash and we laughed like we'd never lost touch. Simon had a way about him that made him seem like he was really interested in you as a person, which is a wonderful quality to have. Miss you.

    I am so sad to hear about Simon's sad passing.

    Lots of love to all of the family especially to Max and Katya. I will never forget your special family and all the fun I had with Simon during my time at Lambrook.

    Lots of love and best wishes

  • Still Unbeaten.......

    For 8 years, our swim team was unbeaten in Galasgow. 30 years on we reconnected from around the globe because of Simon, and having rediscovered our kindred spirits we were looking forward to many more reunions to come. We were proud to call Simon our teammate and friend: he was a special guy—warm, full of life, fun, and truly inspiring—and he insisted on us having this photo taken in Sep 2009. We will always miss him, but at least we have one final special moment to thank him for.

  • Sorry and shocked to hear the news . . .

    Simon was one of only 4 who made it to our last Coconut weekend -two years ago.

    We spent a weekend in Marbella. The golf was awful but with Simon, Graham G and Keith,we laughed all weekend.

    It was the best of times. Simon hadn't changed in all those years. He had a stream of ( bad ) jokes and usually reserved these for when Iwas putting.

    That is how I will remember him -mischievous, fun and great company.

We will remember you with great fondness and will raise a glass to you in memeory of all you brought to our group. No doubt there will be many others who's life you touched will do the same.

    Missing you,

    Andrew Hepburn.

    I was privileged to have known him and lucky enough to have learnt from him.

    Simon was a man full of knowledge and understanding, friendship and fun!

    Simon will be truly missed.

    Simon was a treasure, he was a family friend and offered his friendship to myself and my two daughters which we will now remember forever.He was so unselfishly supportive to my daughters with his amazing business experience. We have all lost a lovely friend but we will not despair , he would not have wanted that , we will go forward and remember him forever, Tony Murland. Kin Knives
