Tribute to Sam Simon

Samuel Michael "Sam" Simon (June 6, 1955 – March 8, 2015) was an American boxing manager, director, philanthropist, producer, and writer. He was one of the original developers of The Simpsons, along with Matt Groening and James L. Brooks. Despite having been a developer, he served as a creative supervisor, executive producer, and writer. He left the show after season 4 over creative difficulties with Matt Groening and James L. Brooks. He received a sizeable pay off which earned him tens of millions of dollars a year; he remains credited as an executive producer despite not having worked on the show since.

He was married to one-time guest star on the show, actress and poker expert and player, Jennifer Tilly from 1984 until 1991. He was also interviewed in The Simpsons 20th Anniversary Special – In 3-D! On Ice!.

In late 2012, Sam Simon was diagnosed with colorectal cancer and was told he would only have three to six months to live. However, Simon survived right up until March 2015. After his death, the season 26 episode "Waiting for Duffman" was dedicated to him.
