Member News

September 25, 2024

Each month, we will strive to bring you updates about your fellow NOSSCR members – celebrations of life, marriages, children, business moves, publications – whatever you would like to share. We want to feature YOU, our wonderfully diverse members. So please email jennifer.cronenberg@nosscr.org with the subject “member news” with anything you would like to see included in this space.


This month, we celebrate the life of longtime NOSSCR member David Samuel Simon of Sarasota, FL. David was proud to serve his community as a Social Security disability advocate, and we were lucky to count him as one of our members. As his obituary details, “David derived great satisfaction helping clients navigate the complex and challenging disability benefits process. As one of his clients said, “David walked me through every step of my case and treated me like family.””

Many of you had the pleasure of interacting with David during one of his many appearances at NOSSCR conferences, or during an 11th Circuit roundtable, where he was a welcome fixture for many years (unless, of course, the conference conflicted with a Stanley Cup playoff game featuring his beloved Tampa Bay Lightening). In addition to his practice, David was a loving husband, son, brother, and uncle. Committed to lending his skills to those in need, David devoted many pro bono hours to Legal Aid Manasota. Donations to Legal Aid Manasota are welcomed in his memory.
