I was greatly saddened by the news of Fred's passing. In 33 years of employment with the City of Columbus, I can honestly say he is one of most honorable and pleasant individuals I have ever met. It was a good day when I had a chance to met with Fred. A true gentleman and a complete professional in every way; the family can be proud of his legacy. My sincere condolences to the all.

I can’t tell you how sorry I am to hear the news. What a wonderful, funny, joyful and caring man he was! Even years after my dad died, on those rare occasions that I saw Mr. Simon I’d automatically reach for him with a big hug and can’t imagine doing any less – he’s just always been the kind of person that deserves a big hug, in my opinion!

I love thinking about all the laughter shared by Dad and Mr. Simon. And I’ve no doubt they’re having a grand reunion now!

I’m sorry I can’t be there in person but I’ll be thinking of all of you and will say a special prayer for Mr. Simon on Saturday morning. Much love to you and your family!

I am very saddened to hear about Fred's passing. I was just thinking of him about two weeks ago and was wondering how he had been doing. Fred was an important investor in land deals we did, but most importantly, he was my friend. I was young back then, no more than early 20's. One thing was always certain, Fred did what was right. You never had to think twice about it. He could always be trusted. Something rare in today's society.

He will be missed greatly. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this difficult time.

I am so sad for your loss. I just found out tonight (5/28) when I came into work.I took care of Mr. Simon the first couple nights when he came over from recovery. I could instantly tell that he was a wonderful, fun-loving man. Who was deeply loved by his wife, family and friends. If there is anything you might need please do not hesitate to contact me.
You will all be in my thoughts and prayers

Our thoughts and prayers go out to all members of the Simon family. We were lucky enough to have known Fred for the last 20 years, and greatly appreciated his kindness, expertise, and perhaps most of all his true enjoyment of life and public service. In our experience he was a truly unique man, loved by all who knew him.

Fred was a favorite cousin, yes. But more than that, he was like a dear uncle or big brother, always ready to help in any way he could. The words on this condolence page and quotes in the newspaper begin to capture his essence to those of us fortunate to have known him: kind, caring, thoughtful, funny, fun, joyful, intelligent, warm. Everyone loved him and loved to be around him. He was one in a million. I will miss his wonderful smile, huge heart, and big bear hugs. I send you deepest sympathy, love and prayers.

Hello Simon family. Condolences on Fred's passing. I read his obit today in the Dispatch, and wondered if he might have attended Aquinas High School with my father, James N. Reau. As I checked a yearbook page I have of the 1946 yearbook,(it's a photo of the class of '46 when they were freshman in 1942) sure enough Fred is seated 2 rows behind my father. So they certainly must have known each other all those years ago. My dad passed away in 1966 at age 37, from leukemia. Again, sincerest condolences to your family. Richard Reau

I am sorry I missed Mr. Simon's funeral. I was at Arlington National Cemetery on Thursday for a funeral of a close friend, and did not return to Columbus until Friday midnight. While I knew Fred had passed earlier in the week, the arrangements had not yet been publicized when I left town. He was a wonderful man, and Fred and Peg are still very special to the Eldon Greer family. Our thoughts are with all of you.
