I would just like to express to all who shared in Simon’s life that he was a pleasure to work with and a pleasure to know. I once golfed with Simon (who expressed, as well as displayed his lack of skill at the game) and had one of the funnest days of golf I’ve ever had. Simon always seemed to be smiling, even on the phone. I am honored to say that I knew Simon Hernould and I know that all of the staff at Damar will feel his loss greatly. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

Moira and all family
Tom and I send our deepest condolences on the loss of Simon. There is nothing can be said to ease the pain you are feeling at this time. Tom and Simon loved to work together and Tom always looked forward to the days when he got to see Simon in London. I got to know Simon once I joined the Damar “team” and was quick to realize just what an incredible person Simon was inside and out. Always quick with a hearfelt hug and warming smile, this world has truly lost a one of a kind man.
Dear Moira and Family,
I am so sorry to hear of Simon’s death.Simon gave my brother John and his wife Julie a wonderful tour of Jamaica when they were on their honeymoon years ago. They saw things that they would never have seen on their own.
Sincere condolences from the Russell family

To the Hernould Family,
As I remember Simon, he always lived life to the fullest.
I remember him fondly as a good friend and brother.
He taught me how to drive in Jamaica and told me to always look behind me and make sure I knew what was coming.
Life is never easy but to live life each day to the fullest, like Simon did, is important.
My deepest condolences,
Donna
I was so saddened to read about Simon in the paper. As I sit hear listening to the Rememberance Day Service I can only think of how you are all suffering. Moria, Cara, Alexandra and Norah my thoughts are with you at this time. Simon has left us all memories that will stay in our hearts forever. There will never be another Simon he was so unique in his own ways. He will truly be missed by all who knew him. God Bless you all at this time…Pat Legg

Moira, Alex & Cara – We were all so sad to hear about Simon. We’ll miss his friendly hello from across the backyard. Our children miss his ‘chats’ and will remember being called out to the yard by our friendly neighbour to watch a balloon go overhead or the northern lights or shooting stars. What a sad loss for our little community.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
We are extremely saddened by Simon’s passing and we extend our deepest sympathies to the Hernould family. It seemed like only yesterday we were young people growing up in Jamaica together, going to school with hardly a care in the world except where the ‘happening scene’ was going to be on a weekend. Our parents were very good friends and indeed Simon and myself are only a couple of weeks apart in age. We were three sisters and Simon and his brother Malcolm were like the brothers we never had. Even though some of us eventually left Jamaica, I remembered with great fondness the wonderful and sometimes very funny times we spent together. It seemed that Simon and Malcolm were always rescuing us from one drama or another, like the time we went rafting down the river in their backyard and the raft turned over but within seconds, both boys jumped in and rescued us! Unfortunately I lost contact with Simon over the years, but I never stopped talking about the Hernould boys, especially when I married a man whose love of sailing rivaled theirs. Simon, we will always remember you.
Fair winds my friend!

Moira, Cara, and Alex:
My thoughts are with each of you during this most difficult of times. I fondly remember times when Simon and I would get together around a bon fire in the back yard. A tremendous individual who touched the lives of many in a very positive way.
Dear Moira, Cara and Alex I was very upset to hear of Simon’s passing.I know from my recent visit Simon was surounded with your love and care. You were his stars.
I reflect back to my time (1965 to 1975) with Simon and how we drove, flew and sailed around JA and just had a blast!! Simon was truly Jamiacian at heart and enjoyed life to the max.
I will always remember my key spar, my good and faithful friend who has triumphed over life.
God Bless
