I have had the privilege of knowing Simon for many years, having met through work in the Met and carried that friendship outside of work. He was a loyal and great friend. We travelled together and with others for memorable trips to the West Indies with cricket as the excuse! You couldn't have a better travel companion, he arranged everything!! Princess Margaret was certainly in good hands. He was a very proud family man and all social ventures were fitted around the wider family commitments. His life was full and meaningful, with charitable work, his flying, golf, sport generally, fine dining, family and reading. Always good company. He was a good solid senior investigator and able to balance compassion with ruthless insight. He was arranging a trip for a few of us to South Africa for rugby next year, we will hopefully still go and toast the absent friend. I, like many, will really miss Simon, his life ended far too early. My heart goes out to Debbie and the wider family as our loss does not compare with their. RIP dear friend.
