Condolences to Donna and the entire family. It's sad to lose someone too soon. I remember Mr. Simon was upbeat, caring, and didn't take our craziness too serious. And the class of 70 had a lot of crazy antics going on. Cherish all your good memories...

From when I first met Mr. Simon to when I got to know Les, he always had a smile. Hopefully, Donna and the family will remember him this way too.

Mr. Simon., would walk the halls of WWHS. In Camden always had something postive to say to all he would come in contact with when I was a student there back in the 68-72. He come in every morning to the M9 office and say funny things too us! Sharp Dresser! He called my Sister and. I the Bowl Of Cherries Sister because of our last name. Sorry for Your Lost , those are my Memories of Mr. Simon that We All Respected!

Dear Donna and family. My condolences to all of you. I didnt have much time to really get to know Les well before I had to move from Glassboro but I enjoyed the few times I did get to spend with both of you. May your memories of good times give you comfort in the days and months ahead. Hold his love and kindness in your hearts. Your friend, Joanne Moss

Les and I were friends in junior and senior high and turned out to become a relative because my wife and he were 2nd cousins. He will be missed.

I met Les back in the 70's at the Dudley Grange Tennis Courts. We taught tennis to the kids in the neighborhood. He was definitely a charmer and always had a smile for you. Easy going and upbeat and could always put you in a good mood. He will be hard to forget by anyone who had the opportunity to know him. May his family and friends find comfort in the great memories and good times he shared.

We love you and will talk about you every day for the rest of our lives. Your courage and bravery over the last 3 years was amazing. You are truly a gentleman and I am sure you are lighting up the room in heaven with your charisma and one liners. Your grandsons will never forget their Pop Pop. I love you and miss you terribly.

Les was a person to be emulated but of course he could never be duplicated. He was an inspirational teacher, thought provoking and highly instrumental in the welfare of many others. I will remember him most for the life lessons that he imparted upon me growing up under his tutelage. He was prone to give and never to take demonstrating a rare gift that so few offer. Many have been moniker as Mensch however Les truly was in every sense the utmost respected of men. From his meshpoka of Camdenites, from Pyne Poynt to Woodrow Wilson and beyond we have lost a truly wonderful man, teacher and administrator. Blessings to the entire Simon family.

Les added comic relief to our days at Davis. He never failed to say thank you to a compliment. Even when the compliment was meant for someone else. He had a contagious mischievous spirit that I cherish. God bless, Les.

Les was the best vice principal and friend. He was a great leader and role model. He was a big part of or Davis Family. I was so happy when he and Donna adopted my Foster baby Max. They gave him a very spoiled happy life. I have many treasured memories. ♡♡♡♡♡
