1937-2022
Our beloved father, grandfather, husband, and brother, Bob Simon, passed away May 14, 2022. He was born March 20, 1937, in Salt Lake City to Walter and Margaret Simon. He was the youngest sibling of his sister Joyce (Gurney).
Robert grew up enjoying all of Utah’s outdoor activities, including hunting, fishing, and horseback riding with his father. When Bob hit the age of 17, he met his beautiful wife Judy, and they shared many beautiful moments together. They loved to travel the coast and visit all of the beautiful locations along the way. Shortly after retirement, he turned to his artistic skills and entered the world of wood carving. During this time, he created hundreds of beautiful pieces. He entered many of his pieces into competitions, taking home ribbons at every show. Not only did Bob love to carve, but he also loved to share his beautiful work with all of his friends and family. He truly was a caring, thoughtful, and beautiful person.
Bob is survived by his wife Judy, son Darrell, and daughter Shanna, six grandchildren, numerous great-grandchildren, one great-great-grandchild, and his best friend Tilly (dog).
On the evening of his passing, his family gathered in his room in love, sorrow, as well as comfort and joy, in knowing the reunion that was taking place with his daughter Darla (Durfey).
Graveside service will be celebrated at Memorial Redwood Cemetery, 6500 S. Redwood Rd., Taylorsville, Utah, this week.
