eude Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Really really sad news. I'd never met Si but we'd talked a hell of a lot on here and by P.M. and considered him at least a "virtual friend". His huge contribution and wit will be sorely missed on here and my thoughts go out to everyone left behind. Rest In Peace Si. Eude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merton Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 (edited) Terrible news, I am a lucky one to have met Si and spent hours discussing websites via PM on here, he was always an absolute gent and a funny dude to boot. Will miss him greatly. RIP Si, my thoughts are with your family and friends Edited August 16, 2010 by Johngh typo correction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShergoldSnickers Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Stunned. The person, his thoughts and the avatar are going to be really, really missed around here. My honest and sincere condolences to the family and those who knew him better than I. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted August 16, 2010 Author Share Posted August 16, 2010 A few more pics to share. Proud dad [attachment=56730:DSC00083sm.JPG] I reckon he likes it [attachment=56731:DSC00086sm.JPG] Arrggh! So many strings! [attachment=56732:DSC00090sm.JPG] A good day [attachment=56733:DSC00110sm.JPG] EDIT: on reflection, I think his big smile in the last pic is because he'd just realised that he and Dood were the only guys in the room with any hair.

Mrs Tinman Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 I can only imagine that the sentiments expressed here about Si are being echoed by countless others who knew him through his other walks in life; I truly hope that those closest to him will be able to draw some kind of comfort from knowing just how much Si meant to so many people. I still can't believe that I wont be able to laugh and joke with you again Si, you daft bugger! :wub: Thanks for posting more pics Rich, I know it won't help any but I'd like to send you a huge (((hug))) anyway, take care mate xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
escholl Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Complete shock, this is really terrible news, my condolences to his friends and family. I never met him but he seemed like a fantastic guy, always had my respect and really valued his input. Rest peacefully Si, for we shall all miss you greatly. xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daz Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 I never knew him, but anyone with so many people genuinely saddened by their passing, you know has to be a decent human being. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauBass Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Really, really sad news. I never met Simon but I'm one of those who also enjoyed reading his posts and his sense of humour.

farmer61 Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 I only had some brief dealings with Si, while he was trying to help find a dep for some people he knew in Cardiff. He was trying as hard as he could for no real gain for himself, guess that summed the guy up, selfless. This is truely sad and I guess this place won't be the same again. Take care everyone.

Big_Stu Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 In the brief time I've been here I've come to respect his thoughts & opinions as being from one of the forums "Old Guard". He will be sorely missed I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthomp Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 (edited) I met Si not so long ago in a transaction went over to his house and we chatted his enthusiasm was contagious(you only have to view his posts to see) really was a lovely bloke we chatted about his Bass/Sax playing but also of my first instrument Blues harp and how he wanted to attend my next gig as he was loving learning harp that will not happen and i was looking forward to helping him out what i could his '62 p pick ups reside in my '64 bitsa really lovely bloke antony Edited August 16, 2010 by anthomp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Absolutely gutted. Lovely bloke, had lots of chats about websites, SEO and amp modelling! Maybe we should get a collection going for his family? What is it with 2010? People seem to be dropping left, right and centre (I lost my mum back in June). This year is cursed, I swear.

BassBod Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Just read the news - really don't know what to say. I met Simon last year at the Cardiff bash...and straight away new we'd met a (more than) a few years earlier and shared a few musical friends. Had a great chat or two. Easy to judge his fine reputation here from all the comments. Thanks to Rich for breaking the news and deepest sympathy for all the nearest and dearest.....
