Simon, I am so glad to have known you. Thank you for approaching work in a way that was professional, friendly and above all so calming. I could always rely on you to help me out if things got too stressful. You had the professional and life experience to always look at things from a perspective that helped me (and so many others) progress things and solve problems in really smart and balanced ways. You always seemed to have so much wisdom to me! I remember the time that you saw me and Rob go for a run at lunch. We told you we were heading south on the Isle of Dogs - you said "Oh yeah, what's there? Chip Shop?" :) Like all of your jokes, succinct, witty and clever! Thanks again Simon - I will really miss you.
