My only regret is that our paths had not crossed earlier in our lives! Lee Simkins was a fantastic individual, I have never worked for a more compassionate and fair person. I want to send my condolences to the entire Simkins family.

Words cannot fully express the sorrow we feel over the loss of Leon. He was a wonderful and generous human being and touched the lives of many. He was an amazing person and family to us. We learned so much from him and he will always be in our hearts and memories. Our hearts go out to all of you and we share your sadness in this time of sorrow. Barbara & Frank Camera

I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Simkins and his friend, Steve Gadon, for many years. Mr. Simkins remains perhaps the most focused businessperson I have ever known - once he had decided to pursue a deal, nothing was allowed to delay its completion. Apart from business, however, I was thrilled to see his name (along with other Simkins family members) as the donors for on a local building in Philadelphia of the Jewish Federation.
