Not sure what to say?

The absolute best doctor ever....a true loss.

Dr. Simon was my pediatrician too and when I returned to NO as an adult with a baby in 1987 I brought my son to him. One of his first questions to me was "do you have a gun in your home?" He told me he never wanted to see one of his patients in the hospital with a gunshot wound. I admired him all the more for asking me that question.

To the Family of Henry G Simon MD
As I light this candle in rememberance of such a beautiful human being. Dr Simon was my Son's Peditrician and he was always such an upbeat, jolly, happy person. Later I came to work with Dr Simon at DDS and he was still such a beautiful upbeat human being. I will forever have fond memories of him. To the Family, although he is gone from sight the wonderful person and the joy he brought to many will forever warm the heart. He will be greatly missed

I was one of many children who was a patient of Dr. Simon for more than 20 years. I've been a type 1 diabetic since May, 1955. When my mother asked him about oral diabetes medications when they first came out instead of insulin injections, Dr. Simon said "If it isn't broken, don'fix it." I was not fighting my mother about the insulin injection each morning by that time. That made so much sense that my mother never seriously discussed oral medications again.

When my soul sister,...

we wish to express our deepest heartfelt condolences on the loss he will be missed by all
