Simon died suddenly on Sunday 11th December, whilst walking on Dow Crag, Coniston, in the Lake District. He was in a favourite place, doing what he loved, on a beautiful blue sky day overlooking Morecambe Bay.
He is treasured by his family, friends and colleagues, and will be missed by so many people. He was one of the genuinely good guys, and his death leaves a gaping hole in our lives.
Simon was always authentic and showed us all what it means to be true to yourself and your values.
Three organisations have been chosen to which donations in memory of Simon can be made: Coniston Mountain Rescue Team who went to his aid; Leeds Community Foundation, as a legacy of the many years he spent working in economic development; and Sustrans, because traffic-free paths for everyone was an important issue for him. Donations can be made via this page, or by contacting the charity direct.
This page has been set up as tribute to Simon, please do add your anecdotes, stories and photos so it can be a collection of lasting memories of our lovely man.
Sarah, Elinor and Amy.
