I had the pleasure of working with Simon over the course of this year. He was often the voice of reason, an absolute professional and his calm temperament rubbed off on many of us. He had a great sense of humor...I remember the first time I invited him to join a work call at 08:00 and his jokingly remarked "not too early then". He will be sorely missed, my sincere condolences to his family and friends and may his gentle soul rest in perfect peace.
