I want to take this time to honor a dear brother in the Lord and someone that my husband considered a ‘father’ that God blessed him with. Gerald Simon went home to be with the Lord on Saturday. Rich and I have known the Simon family for almost thirty years. Gerry and Phyllis Simon and their children and grandchildren were a part of our Fremont Church for the duration of that ministry. After the church closed, Gerry Simon still called Rich ‘Pastor Rich’. Rich would always be his pastor. We have all laughed and cried together and grown in the Lord together. In the last few years, Gerry fondly called ‘Pastor Rich’, ‘Richie’. He always had a big hug for Rich whenever he saw him. He would always greet me with “How are you, baby?” and a big hug. Gerry Simon shared his home, his food and his family with us and always made us feel a part of them. He had a great big heart and leaves a beautiful legacy in his wife, children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. He never pulled any punches, and was one of the most honest men I’ve ever known. He is now in heaven with my husband and his precious granddaughter Rachel Leigh Simon and many others near and dear to our hearts that have gone before us. We love you Gerry and will miss you terribly. God bless and keep the Simon family during this incredibly difficult time. Love to all Denise
