John Simon Obituary
John was a Territory Sales Manager at Garelick Farms for many years, retiring in 2008. He was ever grateful to be a lung transplant recipient in 2010. From the moment he recovered, he lived life to the fullest, traveling all over the world.
He was a true family man. His greatest joy came from spending time with his daughter and her twins.
He is survived by siblings, Charles Simon, and Carolyn Simon. He was predeceased by siblings, Leo Simon and Virginia Ruggiero.
His funeral will be held on Tuesday at 10 a.m. from WILLIAM W. TRIPP Funeral Home, 1008 Newport Ave., Pawtucket, followed by a Mass of Christian Burial at 11 a.m. in St. Teresa Church, 358 Newport Ave., Pawtucket. VISITATION will be Monday 4 to 7 p.m. In lieu of flowers, memorial gifts to St. Teresa Church will be appreciate.

When we lose a loved one, there really are not words to make the loss any better. John was an incredible man, and I enjoyed talking with him, and learning about his lung transplant. He was truly a survivor and a man to be remembered for his kindness. He will be missed by many. My sympathies to Annie and family. May our Lord wrap his love around you during this very difficult time.

Annie & Amy,
We both send our sincere condolences in the loss of your beloved John. He was a good person whose smile lit up a room. I still cannot believe we were talking with both of you the night before. I guess God had other plans for John. May he rest in peace with the Lord.

Dear Annie and Amy,
I am so sorry for your tremendous loss. John's incredible optimism, kindness and joy for life and his family was something that was so apparent every time I saw him. He never complained about his medical issues and courageously went through every challenge he faced. It was so wonderful to see him post-transplant living the life he was meant to have during his retirementgoing on cruises and enjoying his family. I will miss him and your family.
With my deepest sympathy.
