I live in Manning, AB but I purchased a home in Clairmont and my daughter Carolee Fasick & Mark Moores are good friends with Simon and he was always out there so I got to know him about 3 yrs ago. I'm 63 yrs old and I just loved to have Simon over as he loved my cooking and he was just at my house for Thanksgiving. It was so funny as I said Simon what kind of pie would you like for dessert. He told me to surprise him so I gave him a dessert dish with 3 different kinds and he laughed and laughed. He would always say hi mom when he seen me and always willing to do anything a person asked. My son Peter and I golfed with him in the Clairmont golf tournament this summer and we had so much fun with him. My son says Simon is always texting me and we talk about hockey. Simon mentioned to Carolee that this Christmas he was thinking of taking a run up to Manning during Christmas as I had Christmas last year in Clairmont but having it in Manning this year and I was so looking forward to him coming up and spending some time with the all of us. He was like a son to me and I cant believe he is gone and I am so going to miss him. But I have all these wonderful memories. You have my deepest sympathy
