Condolences

Dave Simon and I spent at least a few decade at the International Water Conference: it's annual meetings and at the ESWP Executive Committee meetings in Pittsburg. Dave's technical acumen and scholarly style was( and still is) a source of inspiration to all of us who are professionally associated with him, Dave was a great mentor and I have personally gained a lot from him. He was a close friend and whenever I visited Pittsburgh, I cherished his company whether it was and ESWP meeting or dinner in one of the finer restaurants in Pittsburgh. We will miss Dave and we offer our deep felt condolences to his immediate and extended family. May his soul rest in peace,
