4. That's very sad
the loss of his generation is a tragedy, and his loss in particular is exceptionally sad.

Godspeed, Simon. Your works will live for generations.

7. Oh goodness,
I hope this does not come out the wrong way.But I figured he had already passed.

Yes,a true hero. A hero well deserved of the kingdom of heaven. I think even the freepers could(maaaaybee) agree on this.

8. A courageous man who carried on the vital, dangerous work...
of bringing murderers to justice long after far too many others were far too willing to forgive and forget. He will be sorely missed; may he rest in peace.
