I was so saddened to hear of Jan's passing. We grew up together he on Buttonwood Street and I a block away. We went to school together. He was a nice young man as he was an adult. Veronica McGuigan

My first job was working for Dr. Simon. I was 17 years old in high school and he also did my braces from 13-15 y/o. He made me feel so comfortable. Dr. Simon was a work horse! He had incredible energy and was so kind to his staff and patients. I am devastated to hear he passed away. He was so vibrant and smart. I will never forget him and those great memories. We were part of a family. My love to Stephie and his kids. I am deeply sorry. God Bless Dr. Simon.
