Michael Simon

I remember Big Mike from Curtis, Wagner, and the SIJCC. I admired him. I attended PS-29 w/ Elliott, to whom I'd like to express condolences, as well as to Mike's family. It may seem like long ago, and it is, but, hey, when you can remember, it's as real as yesterday...

Although many years have passed since I had contact with Mike, I recall many fond memories during our time together at Curtis High School and Wagner College. He was the center of attention during many fun times throughout our teen age years. Most memorable was his robust laugh, something that I picture today, more than 65 years ago. I extend my deepest sympathy to his loving family...I'm sure Mike is in a better place looking down on us with a big smile.

TO MY BROTHER, MICHAEL

You were born the year of 1937
And now your spirits moving on to be in heaven
You lived a full, rewarding life and got to go
From here to there and back again, my dear, dear bro

You made your mark by running your own business
To great success, to which we all were witness
So many times you happily serenaded us
With favorite songs, so full of cheer, a sure-fire plus

You married Marilyn when you were young...
