‘The Simpsons’ co-creator Sam Simon, 58, dying and donating millions to charity

By Cheryl K. Chumley - The Washington Times - Monday, July 29, 2013

Sam Simon, the co-creator of “The Simpsons,” has just months to live but is
spending his last moments giving away millions of dollars to various charities.

Mr. Simon has terminal colon cancer.

His royalties from the famous cartoon show have reached into the multimillions
— and now that his family has been taken care of, he is giving the rest away, the
Hollywood Reporter said.

Among his favorite charities: His own Sam Simon Foundation, to feed humans
and dogs; PETA; the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society; and Save the Children.
“I have more money than I’m interested in spending,” he said, in the Hollywood
Reporter. “Everyone in my family is taken care of. And I enjoy this.”

Mr. Simon, who has no children and is now single, harped on the need for
animal rights.
“I want medical experiments on animals stopped,” he said in the report. “They
don’t do anything, and they don’t work. Veganism is an answer for almost every
problem facing the world in terms of hunger and climate change.”

Now let´s watch this interesting video of Sam Simon speaking:
