Dear Simon, you were a blessing in our lives and your memory will always be in our hearts.
Dear Simon, I will be forever grateful for knowing you since my very first steps in research, for your welcoming me in MatRIC and for your wonderful leadership that brought so many of us together there. Thank you. Rest in peace.
Rest in peace, my dear friend.
Dear Simon, thank you for your contribution in my development as a mathematics education student for your kindness and for many excellent things I learned from you. May your soul rest in peace.
Rest in peace, Prof; Simon Goodchild
But in order to correct the course of Mathematics:
The global Mathematics community must will wake up and begin to reform the course of Mathematics by making it a science free of the illusion and myth of infinity...
Simon, a last farewell. Rest in peace.
I met Simon when I became his minister in 2002. He was a great support and encouragement to me. We discussed whether he should make the move to Norway, which I know he never regretted. After he moved I counted him as one of my most trusted friends. He was thoughtful and considerate. His formative years were influenced by the Crusader movement and the biblical ministry of Revd Alan Stubbs. A perfect English gentleman, he was respected by the children he taught and later by his students and academic colleagues. His world view was in part shaped by his VSO in Malawi. His Christian faith was foundational in his life and he exercised his witness with quiet consistency, often giving time (that most precious gift) to older friends and those who would benefit from his support and friendship. Janet, Michael and I will miss him. I share his confidence that he has gone on to that which is far better and am thankful to God for him.
Dear Simon. We thank you for all the support we've received from you, for meaningful mathematics conversations, and for collaboration through MatRIC. We will remember you as a warm and including person with a unique competence and overview of our professional field.
I was so sad to hear that Mr Goodchild has died. He was my Maths teacher from 1981-1985 and he was an inspiration. I am now a Maths teacher and refer to him in my teaching all the time. It was wonderful also to know that he loved Jesus- he brought Christs kindness to the classroom and modelled integrity. He is now with Jesus in glory. I am so grateful to have known him. The world is a poorer place without him in it.
Dearest Simon thank you for giving me a winderful friendship and most important a blessed christian fellowship.
Enjou the presence of our Lord !I see yoy many years from now!
Dear Simon, I will always remember fondly those times I spent working with you over in Kristiansand. You were so generous to so many people with your time and wisdom and I feel very fortunate to have been able to get to know you. You will always be missed but will never be forgotten. Rest in peace. Michael
We had a very glad talk in the summer of last year during the break time. You are a very gentle and humorous. Thank you for the good memories.
Thank you for your support and the sharing your knowledge and work.

Time is so valuable. I just wish we could have more to share with you.
Rest easy Simon
Simon, Angels don't live among us forever. God sends them to be a lighthouse, which illuminates the path of those who enjoy the privilege of living with them, pointing them to the north. You were an Angel of Light, who will never be forgotten, for the Good you sowed while you were among us. Having completed the mission he received, he returns to the Father's House, who will welcome him with the open arms of the Redeemer who blesses his Brazilian friends. Rest in peace!
It was a shock for me to learn, today, that Simon has passed away. Almost exactly three months ago a large group of us were gathered in Kristiansand to celebrate MaTRIC's 10th anniversary. Its success was in large part due to Simon's untiring effort to establish the Centre and bring it to fruition. At the end of the festive dinner we all listened to Simon's humorous, modest and illuminating speech without having any idea of his illness. He was indeed a great colleague and friend, always working for the best for the individual and for the community. He will not be forgotten.
Simon, I will be forever grateful to you for inviting me to be part of MatRIC. It was a pleasure working with you. Your servant leadership brought out the best in people, and my life is better for having known you.
Matthew 23 11-12
The greatest among you will be your servant. For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.
Dear friend, we will miss you, your kindness, your gentleness, your compassion, your humility.
You shone the light of Christ in the darkness.
Simon, os Anjos não vivem para sempre entre nós. Deus os envia para que sejam um farol, que ilumina o caminho dos que gozam do privilégio de conviver com eles, apontando-lhes um norte. Você foi um Anjo de Luz, que nunca será esquecido, pelo Bem que semeou enquanto esteve entre nós. Cumprida a missão dele recebida, retorna à Casa do Pai, que o receberá com os braços abertos do Redentor que abençoa seus amigos brasileiros. Descanse em Paz!
Simon, you will be greatly missed by your colleagues, we were more than colleagues, we were friends. Your gentleness and humility set you apart as someone we all liked and respected.
You never pushed yourself forward, but always looked to the interests of others. You were kind and compassionate. Your Christian faith was a light to many.
Matthew 23:11-12
The greatest among you will be your servant. For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.
Simon, You were a thoughtful and gentle servant leader. I will be forever thankful for your kindness and mentorship. All who knew you felt your care and the world is a better place because of that impact. May you rest in peace.
Dear Simon,
Thank you for meaningful talks, and good laughs.
Best
Frode.
Takk - du utgjorde en forskjell! Miljøet vårt er blitt fattigere.
Hvil i fred.

Simon, may you rest in peace and rise in glory.
