R. Simon

R. Simon (R．サイモン, Āru Saimon) is the owner of a general store. Due to Langley's fear of his brother going fully blind, Simon could count on selling Langley between 100 and 200 oranges each week, though he only ever saw Langley's hands. Whenever he suggested that Homer be taken to see a doctor, Langley violently shot down the idea. 14 years prior to being interviewed, however, Simon remembers that Langley suddenly stopped buying oranges and asked that the shopkeeper deliver newspapers instead. Ever since, Langley has continued to deliver newspapers to the Collyers, along with various goods such as lantern oil.
