I first met Simon under the toughest of circumstances just after the sad loss of his brother Richard. I recall meeting him at the airport and his first words to me - ‘don’t worry you are not seeing things, we look alike’. I was struck immediately by his humanity; even at a time of great personal loss his foremost thoughts were how I might be feeling. As I got to know Simon better I learned about his incredible pragmatism, personal strength and great sense of humour.
He was a wonderful man and I know will be greatly missed by all.
