I wouldn’t be where I am today without Dr.Simon. He gave me the chance to start up my own massage business in the safety/security of his office. I will forever be grateful to him for that. He brought me to my first Burins game too. You’ll be missed. RIP Mitch

I just discovered that Dr. Simon passed away! I'm somewhat in shock. He was the best chiropractor I've ever had. I saw him for maintenance and flare-ups from about 2000 through 2017 when I moved to Ohio. I last saw him for a visit in June 2019. I'm planning a visit to Boston next month and wanted to see him. Oh my. He was such a good practitioner - he had so many effective techniques depending on my situation. I also was in the 1st Ideal Protein group in 2010. His passing is very sad. He was such a good, kind soul. I'm very grateful to have known him. I knew when I moved to Ohio that his absence would be a loss for me. I have my memories. May he rest in peace.

As I write this I am in shock to just find out two day’s ago about Mitch “ Harry and he called me Meg” as in Harry and Sally “ . I met him about 10 years ago my journey with him impacted with new ideas , humor , child like charm and as many stated he made me his closest friend sharing his dreams , business ideas always sharing what is current and what car I should buy I did ! He went with me and test drove all of them and typical Mitch when had a enough said I am done just get it . What coffee machine I should own he then got frustrated and gave me one so I had it . Lesson of what to put in my body and think healthy ! Talking about his parents - his deep love of his mother and their share of humor . Did he use the world lame ! It comes to mind when he had a enough but smile with that everlasting boyish smile !
Like many of us we carry on after being touched by Mitch and smile that the journey shared was short , intense and know that he was a dear friend that touched my heart and family .
He inhaled life and I will deeply miss bumping into him and saying “ Hi Harry and he would reply you look good Meg . and fill in the timeless .
My heart breaks to hear the loss !

I learned today of Mitch's passing, and I am devastated. We were friendly acquaintances (as nearby neighbors) for many years, and spoke whenever we met about how our lives were going. We both lived in the same Brighton neighborhood for many years and used to kid each other as to who would be the first to move. I was so happy about his delight in recently finding new sibling family. I will miss him. My condolences to his family.

I just heard today that Mitch is no longer here with us on this side. I first met him in 2008 at a support group he facilitated for a time. I became a patient of his but of course, like so many others, he became a friend as well as my chiropractor. Anyone here knows that Mitch had the quirkiest sense of humor. He had this way of making everyone feel as if they were his closest confidante. It was something I always appreciated about him. His energy was infectious and he wore his thoughts and heart on his sleeve.

I moved away a handful of years ago and we lost touch, but he will always be a man whom I appreciate and admire. The world has lost a dynamo. You are missed, Mitch. My deepest love and condolences to all who's hearts are left feeling a little less full with his absence.

Simy,
I’m so lost for words right now. I know last time we spoke was in December as we were supporting each other through our journies.

It was such a privilege to have worked for you back at Metrowest Spine Clinic. We shared an unexplainable bond through the years and it will last for the rest of my years.

I’m truly going to miss you!! Not only were you a great doctor that helped and touch so many lives but you were also a great friend.

Love you always Simy!!!! ❤️😢

My heart is sad to learn of this great loss. I knew Mitch only briefly, he was a terrific man who loved his friends and family, and all the complexities of his life. I am reading many of these posts and memories here and I know from his stories, exactly who many of you are. You were loved by him, what a gift indeed. Sympathies to Mrs Simon and Peter, his best friend, and all of you.

I’m so sad to hear this. I was a patient of Dr. Simon’s for many years. I used to love his sense of humor and he was always telling me about a new date he’d been on. He always had a smile on his face and I could talk to him about most anything. And, he helped me through many body aches and pains. I am truly in shock and very sad, Boston has lost a great doctor. Can’t believe it.💖

I am so shocked and saddened to hear of Mitchell's passing. I was a patient of his for many, many years. He was an incredibly gifted healer, and helped me continue to keep running and exercising when others had said I should stop. Beyond all of this, he was just so funny, kind, and pleasant. I looked forward to our sessions not only for the treatment, but for his company. I had not seen him for a long time, but that was never unusual. Whenever I would be gone for months and then return, he was always ready to assist me, and I was glad to reconnect. So very sorry he has passed. Sending love and light to all of his family and close friends. It's been moving to read your memories. Rest in peace, dear man.

If someone asked me to describe Mitch I would say that i shared his taste for his dry sense of humor, sharing something that happened to him like it came out of an episode of “Curb your Enthusiasm”, holding a frozen glass bone dry Cîroc martini, with a twist of lemon.
A free spirit that lived in the moment!
Diane I can’t even begin to imagine what you are going through, I am sorry for your loss and wanted to share my sympathies and this picture, a precious moment for him.

Dear Peter,
We so appreciate all that you did to keep us updated on Mitch's ongoing status, as well as arranging this heartfelt memorial service we all shared yesterday. You were the "glue" for all of us this time around. I am sure it was a lot on top of dealing with your own feelings and stress as Mitch's health declined. You are definitely the brother every one could only hope to have through the good times as well as the difficult ones. Please take the best care of yourself . Love and Peace, Cheryl

Thank you all for your wonderful and heartfelt memories of Mitch. Mitch and I were house mates at SUNY Albany after we both transferred from SUNY Stony Brook. I was not in contact with Mitch after college, but my recollections of Mitch are that of a genuine, kindhearted person. What you see is what you got from Mitch. He was a good friend during those college days. I remember a fun road trip we took from Albany through a winter snow storm in his yellow Volkswagen to visit friends at SUNY Buffalo, despite Mitch not feeling well. But, he persevered because he didn’t want to let his friends down. Mitch and his parents were kind and caring enough to adopt our “college dog,” JoJo, after we transferred schools and give him a good home. Thus, I’m not surprised by the kindness and caring Mitch showed for his patients, and the warm and loving regards his patients had for him. My sincere condolences to Mitch’s mother and to his substantial group of friends. Mitch, may you Rest In Peace.

After watching all of you speak I became a little intimidated, perhaps because my measly 5 years of knowing Mitch didn't seem worthy compared to the long wonderful and deeply rich relationships he'd had with so many of you. The stories were beautiful.
I only met Mitch 5 years ago on a dating site but aside from our first meeting, we never dated and instead decided to be friends. Which I think was a wonderful choice. We became good and fast friends.
As our relationship developed, I gradually started he from Mitch on a regular basis. He called me almost every week and as we got to know one another better, sometimes on a daily basis.
I felt special because he was always opening up to me and asking me for my advice. It never occurred to me that while he was in constant communication with me that he was in constant communication with a million other friends. It was his way of remaining close to people. He had a way of drawing people in.

I listened to Susan Miller talk about how she turned him on to the Bachelor. I chuckled because Mitch turned me onto it. I remember rolling my eyes when he first mentioned the show, wondering what was up, thinking 'seriously?' but he got me hooked and now that I have met you all on Zoom, I see I very likely was not the only one he was texting back and forth with during the shows, or any other day in the life of Mitch Simon.
Whenever he called, regardless of where I was or what I was doing I took his calls. One night while I was out with a friend for dinner he called to tell me about his newly found family and learning about his biological father. He was so excited and wanted to talk about everything. I excused myself from the table, went outside and just listened, he was so elated.

He made me feel like I was an important part of his life. That was probably the greatest of his gifts, he really knew the true meaning of friendship and how to nurture them. That was is true 'art'. The art of being a good friend.
He was a very special person that I'm sure we will all miss.
May he rest in peace.
