from what been told/read think it may be better if we wait for word from the family or close friends on this sad ongoing situation before having such a topic running

Been informed by Martyn that the family posted on social media that Simon passed away last night at 21:20hrs

Very sad news and my deepest condolences go out to all his family and friends

Simon was a long time member on here, his profile page can be viewed here   @ImberBoy

RIP Simon

[Martyn Pitt]

I spent many hours on a dance floor with Simon, he was one of the funniest guys I knew, his humour would have me in tears at times. When I learnt of his stroke the other day I could not believe it, he was only 57, far too young to be taken from us, he had so much more to give. To say he will be missed is doing him an injustice, he will leave a void on this scene that will be hard to fill.

This is how I will remember him ... in shorts, in the zone, dancing

R.I.P Simon ... condolences to Carol, Zac, and Bev 

All our love Martyn & Carol x

[Rhino]

Had plenty of good chats and did him a few modern cds. His love of the music and the scene was infectious. Rest well mate, you be sorely missed. Deepest sympathy to his family and friends. 

[Tivoli]

So sad to hear this news. A chasm has been created, for which I do not think any one is capable of filling.

R.I.P Simon 

[Biggordy]

Only met the man a few times in person but chatted a lot online.  A top top bloke and can't believe he's gone.  He even got me to appreciate some modern tunes, which as a die hard "gritty" soul and funk fan took some doing!  May He rest well.

Well what can you say ..on the northern soul all niter scene since 1981 I've met so many great people and character s and shared many a dancefloor with some Fantastic human beings who have become friends for life although we won't see each other every week . A soul hug is only another weekend away on our scene.on one such soulie is Simon Cuerdon . Had the sad news yesterday he was gravely ill . We were all in shock at the allniter at coalville and the scene in general as Simon is one of the most amazing people I've. Ever met .so funny so dedicated to his music so caring to his fellow soulie s and he was a total one off ..even at Blackpool after 2 days souling would always be in uniform on remembrance Sunday ..and his charity fund raising for.blessma..today we have lost another allniter giant of our scene .a friend and a true soul brother ...the UK allniter scene will.never forget you ..I certainly wont there'll be alot.of tears today..tears of sadness and joy you brought to people's life..god bless you  Simon Cuerden Mark & Kim xxxx

A South Yorkshire legendary Character.It was a great spectacle watching him Stomping away with his old days partner Mick Scott.Just like the clip of them on the Cleethorpes Documentary filmed in the 90s with Simon decked out in White shorts a sign of things to come.A real deal Crazy gang soulie with the X factor that lit up every venue he attended.

It made me laugh when I received this and had to post it on here. He asked me to play Mood  Mosaics at Winsford one night and i said that i didn't have it with me ( it's at home i replied ). Simon said fcuk off they all say that. I played it for him at the next one. 

[45cellar]

Very sad news. R.I.P. Simon.

[Lucky One]

Very sad news to say the least, one of lifes characters always said hello and made my wife and I laugh when we spoke at allnighters .The allnighter scene will not be the same without him, his posts on facebook were the only things worth reading on it. RIP Simon.

From Zac,

Simon Cuerden's funeral 
When & Where: 11/07/2019 - the service will start at 16:00
The service will be held at Grenoside Crematorium (Sheffield S35 8RZ)
After party at Cubley Hall (Penistone, Sheffield S36 9DF) 
I do not know how to start to organise a ride out but I know that my dad would love for as many scooters to be present as possible. 
Dress code: I do not think my dad would want the whole black tie event. Therefore, I encourage you all to dress in what you would dressed in when you saw my dad.
I want to see lots of AFSC tops and northern should attire present. But if you want to go black tie then then I understand. 
I for one will be wearing one of his old AFSC tops.

[Billywhizz]

your dad, like my billy t shirts , maybe , i see , x
