I have many memories of Mr. Simon, from Hebrew carpool through today. Mr. Simon always showed up, with a smile and positive attitude. I am so thankful that Mr. And Mrs. Simon were such amazing friends for my parents and watched over my dad over the past nine years. Mr. Simon (as I still refer to him at 54) will be greatly missed. May his memory be for a blessing.

Uncle Mel has always been my favorite uncle. My whole immediate family (Jackie, Phil, and Lauren) have nothing but fond memories of Uncle Mel. He was a great human being, and we will miss him deeply.
