It is with a heavy heart that I post for the first time in nearly a year, having just found out that Simon was one of those who died in this tragic incident.
I got to know Simon pretty well, not only at work, but also having played Hockey in Gutersloh together for a good couple of years, including both the Cyprus and Australia tours with the 1 Regt AAC squad.
(The Australia Tour photo just so happened to be on the desk in front of me ready to go back up after a bit of decorating, when I read his name, just to make it a real kick in the nads!)
Without doubt a larger than life character in all senses of the phrase and always good to be around both at work and play.
I know 'Mrs Sid' will also be upset when I tell her in the morning.
RIP my friend, 'til later.
