"I ... was born in 1913 – on October 11 – in Rochester's Strong Memorial Hospital. ... [My father] had a cousin name Hymie. ... So when my mother gave birth to me, my father completed the birth certificate without consulting her, and named me 'Hymie Simon.' ... [my mother] flipped. Turns out she wanted me named after her brother, Joseph. ... At least if it had been 'Hyman' Simon, she said, it would have rhymed. ... No, she just called me Joseph, and after a while it stuck. Yet that's not what my birth certificate says. To this day it hasn't been corrected, not Social Security-wise, [war-]veteran-[records]-wise, or for anything else. ... We never had middle names in my family, either. ... But I took the 'H' from Hymie and I made it into Henry. .... Note: Some sources erroneously give 1915 as birth year, including: * "Joe Simon".
