A quick update:
Myself and Macca (a good mate of Simon) have flown to Argentina to make arrangements to bring Simon home on behalf of his family. We have recieved a great deal of support over here, largely driven by Macca's father in law John.
We (everyone here in Argentina on the job) are doing all that we can to bring the big guy home and we greatly appreciate all your messages and support. We will keep you all updated on the progress.

Back home Mark (Simon's Brother) is making all the necessary arrangements, a job that no doubt has been difficult while also coming to terms with the loss and supporting his family, he is a strong man and is dedicated to bring home Simon. Send him your support and think of him in this difficult time.

Also for those of you who know Macca, his Wife and family, please spare a thought for them, they too are working to help in any way they can. Maddy, Macca's wife is not only dealing with the loss of Simon but also the absense of her husband which comes at a time when their family home in Airlie Beach (north QLD) comes under threat of Tropical Cyclone Ului. So please spare a thought also for Macca's family.
