Today I lost not only a client in Simon Fisher-Becker, but a close personal friend of 15 years standing. Simon was also a writer, a raconteur and a great public speaker. He helped me out enormously and was kind, gracious and interested in everyone.
Simon passed away at 2:50 this afternoon. I'll be keeping this account open for a while. I'm not sure at this point if I'll be posting again.
My condolences go to his husband Tony, his brother, nieces and nephews and his legion of fans.
