Paul was my dentist for a bit over 25 years! I loved him and his ancient office! I thought the first time I entered..are you kidding me? Hahaha! I think he kept his office from his first day of being a dentist! I loved him and then became the day he refereed me out to a gum specialist! I loved him and everyone in his office! Rest in Peace my dear friend!

Paul was my (Carol) first cousin and part of the fabric of Aunts, Uncles and first cousins that was so integral to my youth and young adulthood. I didn't see Paul often, living in LA, but when we did get together Paul imparted so many memories of our grandmother and grandfather that I had forgotten. We went back in time to remember the details of family that are so meaningful, bringing a closeness that was unique and special. I was lucky enough to attend his wedding, his children's bar and bat mitvah and his 60th birthday party. Seeing Paul, Gayle and family at these events was always special. I'll always remember Paul as smart, funny, insightful and warm. May his name be for a blessing.

Dr. Paul Simon was our dentist for 50 years. Paul was an exceptional person. He was warm, caring, and highly intelligent. He led a strong team of professionals with Linda and Cheryl. Together they created a pleasant, welcoming dental practice. Paul was our friend. His passing is a great loss. We send our thoughts and prayers to his wife, children and grandchildren.

Paul was my neighbor and while I didn't see him a lot I always enjoyed our chats when we ran into each other at the mailbox or out for a walk. He was a very interesting man with a very sharp mind and lots of interests. See you in the future neighbor.

Paul became my dentist in 1972, and it seems like yesterday. I'm really going to miss him. My heart goes out to Gayle, Dylan and Marni.

Paul was my dentist also. I didn´t like dentists until I met Paul. Don´t know if it was his "hippy" like look or his calming demeanor that took away my fear, but he took care of my teeth for many, many years. Sorry to read of his passing. Thank you Paul.

Paul was my dentist for 50 years. More importantly, he was my dear friend for that long too.
I will miss him.
