David and Heidi Helmer We were honoured to have known Mr. Simonok. He was a person who was willing to give his life for his country and he carried that into his home life as he would have given his life for his children. He will be missed as much as he was admired.
Our deepest sympathy to Alex, Lisa, Cathryn and Emma-Sophia as well as Nanette and Colin. God bless you all.
