Simon hired me in 1979 at Sikorsky Aircraft. He was my mentor and friend for many years. After almost 35 years at Sikorsky I still remember and thank Simon for giving me many opportunities and coaching me in my career development.

Now Simon is in God's hand's hope there is a golf course in heaven..If there is we know what Simon will be doing...God Bless! Jimmy Ballard
