Eric Sjoden wrote a sympathy message

“Simon's sharp wit & genuine nature were uniquely his own. Woodworking, Army, international affairs, patient care- he could make me laugh. Lots of laughs punctuated by moments of intense sincerity. Sitting across from him drinking a warm ESB in a dark pub soon after Estelle was born- "It changes you", he said, as tears rolled down his face. The Universe lost a good one. One of my favorites. Jodi, Estelle, Trevor & the rest of his family- my heart hurts with yours. I am so sorry, Eric Sjoden”

“Simon James, Super smart, kind, very funny and someone who loved his family very much! The last conversation I had with him, he told me how happy he was being a dad to two beautiful children, and how much he loved his family. Your light on this earth will be missed Simon.. God’s speed to you. To Jodi and your children, I’m so very sorry for your loss. Joe Basta”
