Not sure what to say?

Mr. Simon and wife Fran were always friendly and nice to know. And the hard work by Mr. Simon (and wife Fran) started the current business Route 12 Rental about 60 years ago, which is still run by the Simon family.

I miss you, Uncle Bill.

Our family has known the Simon families since 1941 when we lived on Rand Rd. Bill and Fran have been wonderful friends all these years. We love you all.

Bill is and was a great friend. I remember my mom and dad with Bill and Fran walking down to the new Pool Ford Showroom to go square dancing. Plus when I rented the house across Rand Road that his father built, he helped me out. I just got out of the Army and got married and did not have a clue how to take care of the house and well. But Bill Helped. Fran and Jane and myself always keep in touch thru the e-mail. He was and is Great. Marty

Grandpa was pure love, acceptance, and lots if fun! He will be missed, for sure, but will remain in all of our hearts. Wonderful memories from a dear sweet man.

I acquired a taste for cheese "burpers" (puffs) and cheese curds thanks to him and hard salami sandwiches on buttered bread - the finer things in...

Mr. Simon was a nice man and pleasant to visit. I enjoyed getting to know him over these past several years. My condolences to you, Mrs. Simon, Nancy, George, and Bill.

We are deeply sorry for your loss; our thoughts and prayers are with you. You have our deepest sympathy and you are in our hearts.

Bill will be missed.

God Bless,
Bob, Lorry, Randy & Ryan Kuehn

While I haven't kept in touch in recent years, I will greatly miss this great man, my godfather! He was a great influence in my life and I will always hold Uncle Bill and Aunt Fran dear to my heart.

I love you both!
