May God bless Simon’s soul as he goes on his journey.
God be with my Subud brother.
RIP.
Condolence to his family.
Love from Ireland.
Un******* believable.
I spent some time with Simon at the last two world congresses.
Simon was a real brother to me. Hope he forgives any “big mess ups”
over the decades. Much love to you all on this side, and may Almighty keep us in the light at passing.

Simon and I worked for Humphrey Williams and Hadrian Michelle at a Subud enterprise, MicroTraffic, in the early 80s. Later in life, I saw him every year at the annual Subud PNW kejiwaan retreat at the Menucha Retreat Center outside of Portland. I loved his humor and his very quirky view of life. I will miss his presence. May He Rest In Peace.
If the memorial call was recorded, can it posted on YouTube? Thanks
Jon, so sorry to hear of the passing of Simon (Bruce). I remember him fondly from public school in Stittsville.
