I was just made aware of Paul's passing in the Journal of the Missouri Bar. I remember Paul, from our time together at St. Louis University Law, and at Laclede. He was always an honorable man, always had a smile. Even though over the years our professional lives diverged, he remained a part of my memories. My condolences to his family.

I just received my issue of Tne Journal of the Missouri Bar and was shocked and saddened to learn of Pauls's passing. We attended St. Louis University School of Law together and spent a summer clerking for Attorney Rich Witzel downtown. We had lunch every day at The Mayflower. Wonderful memories.

Paul was a good man and as an opponent he was a respectable attorney who conducted himself as a gentleman. I was recently against him on a case and enjoyed getting to know him. I am saddened to learn of his passing and wish his family the best.

Death is nothing at all.
It does not count.
I have only slipped away into the next room.
Everything remains as it was.
The old life that we lived so fondly together is untouched, unchanged.
Whatever we were to each other, that we are still.
Call me by the old familiar name.
Speak of me in the easy way which you always used.
Put no sorrow in your tone.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes that we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was.
Let it be spoken without effort
Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was.
There is unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just around the corner.
All is well. Nothing is hurt; nothing is lost.
One brief moment and all will be as it was before.
How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting, when we meet again.

July 16, 2015

All our Love, thoughts and prayers to the whole Simon Family.

To The Simon Family - I shared some great moments with Paul during his years at De Smet. I don't know that I have ever coached a player that was more intense and hard-nosed. He made every opponent he played against remember him as that pesky guy who would not go away. He attacked life the same way. His generous spirit has touched so many here in the St. Louis area. He was just a special guy. My prayers go out to his wife and family. Paul and the Lord will watch over you all.

I will never forget climbing up in a tree with Paul when we were kids (and next door neighbors) and talking and talking and talking. What a gem. We, of course, jumped down from waaay too high in the tree on mutual double dog dares. A great loss.
