A true gentleman and inspirational instructor, thoughts are with all who had the privilege to meet him.

I couldn’t believe it was you when I heard the sad news but when I saw your photo, I knew it was you. You hadn’t changed a bit since we were at Dartmouth High School (OK, maybe a few more lines and grey hairs). Where has the time gone.

I was always a bit of a tomboy at school and it doesn’t seem that long since me, you and Lee were hanging around together after school in Redhouse Park.

After we left it looks like you went on to build a successful career in the fire service and you were well liked by lots of people and will be sorely missed.

Sincere condolences to your family at this sad time.

Goodbye Si and God Bless

Never knew you mate but your a hero to me and our community, thank you for serving us and also protecting us, men such as Simon are selfless and honourable and for that we appreciate you and wish you well on the rest of your journey.

Such a sad loss, my condolences to Simon's family, rest easy and at peace mate

To all of Si’s family and friends I can only imagine the emotional pain you are in, and my thoughts are with you all. It is with heartfelt sadness I write this, I’ve known Si for quite a few years and worked with him for several years at the Training Centre, where he supported so many trainee firefighters to achieve their NVQ. It was a pleasure to watch him grow and excel as an Officer with people always being at the centre. Only recently Si shared an idea with me about a new process, just to let you know Si, I was listening and yes, people are at the centre. Si, you will be forever loved and missed xx
