Deepest Sympathy to Anne and family in your sad time of loss. Many years ago, as a young lad starting at Southland Dairy Co-Op Simon played a huge part in mentoring me. As a workmate I fondly remember him for his hard work ethic on the job but also his honest, likeable personality and infectious wit while we got on with it. Looking up to Simon at that time who was many years my senior he was always a positive influence and a pleasure to work alongside.
