To the Simon Family: My sincere condolences for your loss. Living in his parents 2 flat many years ago in Brighton Park my mother Adele and myself always found Paul to be a very nice and happy spirited person who will definitely be missed.

We will miss Paul deeply. His sense of humour, good nature and spirit of conversation was his essence. He brightened all of our lives on Waiola Ave ... as he not only was our neighbor but our dear friend. With our deepest sympathies ~ Linda & Jeff Fayne
