Terrible news. He was much respected at this end. We never met, but we had a few dealings like you do in this tiny world and always found him friendly and professional.
RIP.

Wow..shocked to say the least and so soon after his last announcement. My thoughts go out to the family and hope they take some comfort in the fact that he was a very highly respected and liked person and considered a guru.

As busy as he was he was always willing to help out and share his knowledge to most who asked. It will be another sad loss to the subaru community...

Very sad news indeed.

I had only known Simon for a short while, but he has been so helpful and patient with answering the many many questions I fired at him.

I really felt like I learnt a lot from him, and for that I'm grateful.

My thoughts are with his family right now.

RIP

Still pretty much speechless.

Simon was a great mapper, more more importantly he was a great man.
Never had a bad word for anyone, and never had a bad word said about him.

He will be sadly missed

RIP Si, thoughts are with his family, friends, and anyone who was fortunate enough to know him.
