I met Simon a year ago when I moved my boat to the Marina. He was one of the most genial, friendly and courteous people I have ever met.
He will be sadly missed by all the boaties at the Marina.
Simon, RIP

"Mishap"? Your writer makes it sound as if the late Mr Grant merely stubbed his toe.

Editor:This is hardly the time or place to discuss our word style. ''Ao Po marina manager Simon Grant came off his new Honda 750 and died in hospital''. We prefer 'mishap' because 'accident' implies no fault or blame. (Mishap: bad luck, mischance, misadventure)

Will miss you for sure Simon.
Wherever you are now - our love.
Anthony and Anna

My comment this morning was a bit short.
Simon we will all miss your good cheer. R I P. To Ao Po marina and staff, family and friends, my deepest condolences.

A shock to everyone who knew him I'm sure. I was only joking with him in his office on Tuesday about football, he was a keen Chelsea supporter.

Simon my man where ever you are. Keep your left arm straight, keep your eye on the ball and take it whichever way you can get it.

Going to miss you buddy. Hope they serve that New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc that you enjoy in your new spot. Rest well my friend.

Last time I saw you was by chance in Gatwick airport where we had a glass of champagne and smoked salmon. There will be plenty of that where you have gone. Happy memories from the St.Dunstan years in London. Our thoughts are with your family.
