Dear Simon,
 
I would like to say good bye to you and your incomparable sense of humour and way you presented all the nice stories and created so many memories. Even though my experience in the industry is rather short compared to yours, I enjoyed the 12 years working with you. I and we as a company always had the greatest respect for your work and way to be a true and reliable intermediary having a focus on both parties of the transaction not only considering the clients, but also the Underwriter needs and position.
 
It was a shock earlier this year to learn about you being ill and an even greater shock to have learned, that out path won’t cross in the future.
 
I wish your family all the strengths for the forthcoming times!
 
I have found a photo from a Baden Baden Cocktail reception, I‘d like to share and a scene, I will always remember. Basically you were asked to participate in the show of the magician we hired for that night, but it wouldn’t have been you, not to hijack his performance!
 
All the best,
Lars (Sirius Hamburg)
