I didn't have the pleasure of meeting Simon but he was one of us.
It's a real shame as I thought things were improving....
My very best wishes to his family.

Simon and his wife the LLB as he called her were very good to me in my early days of Morgan ownership, I will miss him, a lovely man. RIP my friend.

I am very sorry to have to report that Budster did not make it out of the pit lane. He passed away on Wednesday the 11th June. I understand that Chris, his son is handling all the arrangements and his cremation is planned for Monday 23rd June, at noon, at the Exeter Crem. on the Topsham Road.
To give him the send off he would have liked, a number of Fossilmog members will be following the hearse in their Morgans. I am sure he will be missed by us all? Paul, thank you for the sad relay of Simon's passing. He seemed so very positive in recent PM's and was looking forward to joining in with our upcoming Continental and Full English Breakfast tour, we chatted it over and whenever he felt fit enough I would come back for him in the Mrs GTI for comfort and speed. He will be sorely missed not only in the TM world, the Land Rover world will with us. Most importantly though SUZUKI racing will as he was their official photographer for many years, like many of us you soon tire of the flying/hoteling around the world and Landie appeared attractive for him. One of his step sons is on the Dartmouth lifeboat crew so I imagine they will be represented. Bud and Mrs came over to dog sit their spaniel from time to time. I shall always remember him as an easy going gracious/ humorous man with a great gentleness and peace about him carried lightly, I hope this was a good preparation for his last voyage RIP lovely man  Always in the garden with a cool one now Bud   Being a non MSCC I shall be in the car park with Henrietta .. Bud would appreciate the less is more by leaving the Plus 8 on duty at home

I wish Bud all the best on his last journey. RIP
My sympathy goes out to his family and I wish them much strength to get over their loss.

- truly saddened to read the news about Budster as I thought he was well on the road to recovery.
My wife and I met Simon and Susie at a few Morgan events and they were grand company.
Our condolences to Susie and Family at this very sad time…..

Perhaps, Simon, You should "retire" the emoticon. Robbie, for context, here is the original thread which brought about the 'Budster' emoticon. As I created it for Simon, off the back of the topic he started, and he seemed chuffed with it, I'd like to believe it is a tiny tribute to a member of this forum.

His posts to TM were measured and relevant, but with an underlying whiff of humour. He was just the same in person. He had that special quality which is best described as "The Vibe".
I will miss his contributions here.

Rather than retire the emoticon perhaps it should be kept and used more often......🤷🏻♂️
