Sending thoughts and condolences to the whole family. Having only know Simon for the past 3 years and having met at Rainham cricket ground where our boys both shared a love of cricket but also passing when the boys where playing football. You were always kind, welcoming and always had time for a chat. Pleasure to have known you.
