The absolute best doctor ever....a true loss.

Dr. Simon was my pediatrician too and when I returned to NO as an adult with a baby in 1987 I brought my son to him.  One of his first questions to me was "do you have a gun in your home?"  He told me he never wanted to see one of his patients in the hospital with a gunshot wound.  I admired him all the more for asking me that question.

To the Family of Henry G Simon MD
 As I light this candle in rememberance of such a beautiful human being. Dr Simon was my Son's Peditrician and he was always such an upbeat, jolly, happy person. Later I came to work with Dr Simon at DDS and he was still such a beautiful upbeat human being. I will forever have fond memories of him. To the Family, although he is gone from sight the wonderful person and the joy he brought to many will forever warm the heart. He will be greatly missed

I was one of many children who was a patient of Dr. Simon for more than 20 years. I've been a type 1 diabetic since  May, 1955.  When my mother asked him about oral  diabetes medications when they first came out instead of insulin injections, Dr. Simon said "If it isn't broken, don'fix it."  I was not fighting  my mother about  the insulin injection each morning by that time. That made so much sense that  my mother never seriously discussed oral medications again. 

When my soul sister, who is an M.D. and was another of Dr. Simon's patients, told me about  Dr. Simon's death yesterday, she said something about the power of the spirit and how she and her dentist, another patient, had talked about  Dr. Simon on Tuesday. Yes, the spirit  DOES have power, because I also  had thought about Dr. Simon on Monday. Because of  Dr. Simon AND my soul sister saving my life three years ago by long distance, I am still very much alive and kicking  and grateful for every day I can get out of bed  and just walk without my knees collapsing. 

My deepest sympathies to Dr. Simon's family.  He was and will be a well loved and remembered institution by many New Orleans children that became adults' childhoods.

we wish to express our deepest heartfelt condolences on the loss he will be missed by all

Our sincere sympathy to Dr. Simon's family.  His family were neighbors when my husband was growing up and later he was our children's pediatrician.  Gentle,caring doctors like him are rare.

My sincerest condolences to the family of Dr. Simon. He was my pediatrician as a child, a great influence on me, and a truly wonderful man. He will be missed.

Dr. Simon was my pediatrician, and the sweetest, nicest doctor I've ever known. I remember his calm, and the squeeze animals he wore on his stethoscope. I'm so very sorry for your loss, but know he was loved and will be remembered by many children.

My deepest condolences to Leah, Elsa and Harriet, and all of Henry's family. Henry played a bigger than life role in our little family and we will always remember him with great fondness.

Those we love don't go away,
They walk beside us every day,
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still loved, still missed and very dear.

My deepest sympathies to Henry's entire family.  Henry was an inspiration to so many.  I first knew him as the man who stuck needles in my rear when I was a child.  Over the years he has remained a powerful mentor in my life.  He will be missed by many.
