Condolences to the Simon family. Joe was a high school classmate of mine. His talent was evident, aand he gladly shared his music with everyone. He Led a life of teaching and giving and will be missed.

Dear Erica and Christopher,
I was deeply saddened to learn of your father's death! I reconnected with him, and met you mother, at one of our class reunions (ACCHS '55) and joined all the family in prayer when your mother became ill. He repeatedly told me that he relied on the power of prayer. I can imagine how devastated he was at her passing. May God grant him eternal joy, and bless you and all the family with comfort and peace.

I remember Mr. Simon when I started teaching in Neshaminy in 1985. I would see him at auditions and Neshaminy Events with Dr. Pearlberg. Every time I saw them both, I thought “there’s two of the most important music educators in PA.” Mr. Simon and Dr. Pearlberg were equally as kind as being icons in the music world. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

Joe and Janice were good friends of my husband and I. They were both wonderful people and talented musicians. My husband, Don, attended West Chester with them many years ago. We loved getting together for our special luncheons with our west Chester friends. I know how much you will miss them. Please know my love and prayers are withou all.
