Sincere Condolences to Simon’s family. I was deeply saddened with the news. He was a friend of CH and a lovely man. It was always a pleasure to talk to him at the various Old Blue events. Keith Worker
Our deepest condolences to Simon’s whole family for the loss of your wonderful father, husband, brother and friend. We will miss his keen wit, his gift of the gab and warmth of soul.
Our Sincere Condolences to Shanti deJongh and family. Dan and Rita Waterman
I give my sincere condolences to the families and friends. Simon was greatly loved and will be missed. The best description of Jehovah God is that he is love. It talks of this at 2 Corinthians 13:11 where it says, “Finally, brothers, continue to rejoice, to be readjusted, to be comforted, to think in agreement, to live peaceably, and the God of love and of peace will be with you.” This love is the reason why we can be confident that Jehovah will remember those in the memorial tombs in the near future and we will be reunited with our loved ones. Please take comfort in that knowledge.
I was very sad to hear of Simon’s passing. I am a little older but we were in the same Boarding Houses, Maine A and Middleton A, at Christ’s Hospital so I knew him reasonably well despite the age gap. Simon was a thoroughly decent bloke and I still remember his expression of delight when his older brother was selected to row for Cambridge University in the Boat Race and won his Blue. Simon used to regularly update me as to whether his brother was in the Goldie or First Eight and eventually he was selected for the First Eight. We were all pleased for him! I lost touch with Simon when we left CH but we exchanged a few pleasantries on the Unofficial CH Forum a few years back which was enjoyable. My sincere condolences to his family and friends.
Our sincere condolences to Shanti and Simon’s girls. He will be missed and his jolly humor. rest in peace. Phil Tiny Chistiensen and family
May Simon’s spirit and love be forever with his wonderful family and his many friends. We will miss you, Simon. Barbara and Jay
My deepest sympathy to Shanti and the girls and to all of Simon’s family and friends. I hope that you will be able to remember him, as I will, with a grin on his face and a witty comment on his lips. In our brief interactions he definitely struck me, to borrow the words of a fellow mourner from across the pond, as a thoroughly decent bloke.
Simon, you were larger than life and we miss you hugely. David & Geri
So many good times, so much laughter; the charisma to light up a room; such hospitality and generosity; ever positive and beaming (even when times were hard); a truly awful golfer, but a great man. We’ll all miss him badly. Love, Paul & Gay
We will all miss Simon. He filled a room and much of a frisbee field! His warmth and friendship will always be treasured as will the memories of the times we spent together and the fun we had. Our thoughts and love are with Shanti and the girls.
Dear Shanti – I was just googling you and Simon, just wondering what became of you both in the past several years, and I came across this terrible news. I am so sorry for you and your children. When life settles down a bit, I would love to hear from you. I’m in Seattle, working as a doctor. I remember so well our time in New York, and wish we had done a better job of staying in touch. With fondest memories, and great sadness, Kitty Brown
