I knew Artamus from Upward Bound. He was a friend of my sister, Betty Abrams. I knew Jean Aires, whom he was dating and Harrison Bentley, and Jesse Dole. .
They all attended Hayes Highschool. He was full of life.
He will be missed, but we thank God for the time he was here.

To the Simpson family, this too shall pass.

Daddy, your guiding hand on my shoulder will remain with me forever. I love you.
