Dear Professor Simon…
William “Bill” Simon was an associate professor of public relations at Biola University. A graduate of Westmont College and Northwestern University, he was known by many of his students for his friendly disposition and the love he showed to each person in his classes. Simon died on Feb. 28, 2019 after a brief illness.
While the Chimes covered the announcement of Simon’s death, we also want to give members of the Biola community a chance to remember a man who had such a profound impact on so many. Many in the Chimes staff took one or more of his classes and can attest to his character and generosity. It is out of respect and love for Professor Simon that we dedicate this page as a memorial for visitors to remember him by until we see him again in Paradise.
If you would like to submit a memorial note in honor of Professor Simon, please fill out the form here. For questions, email [email protected].
