I will always remember the great influence of Dr. Simpson. He was an extraordinary teacher of choral music. I was fortunate to be under his brief tutelage as a South Carolina High School Honors Choral Student. And, I was able to witness and partake of his conducting genius during my undergraduate college days. This photo is of the two of us taken in the early 1980s, New Orleans, Louisiana. His rich legacy will live on. K. A. Alford

In 1978 Dr Simpson encouraged me to take a serious path toward a possible career in opera performance. He was behind my intense preparation to be ready when the chance might come, as I was already later than most in academic and performance experience. His teaching and guidance were invaluable and without which I would never have been able to advance and achieve what has been a blessed career in which many high points beyond my wildest dreams transpired. His love of music was infectious and his insistence on perfection was the consistent model for always reaching for more from oneself. He was there at my Metropolitan Opera debut and I’m still not sure who was the happier person. So many musical moments shared and so much to cherish and remember regarding our musical and personal friendship. He was a Majestic Musical Mountain of a Man in this life! I will forever cherish the privilege of knowing him. May his spirt fly high and unburdened! My heart is with his family as they celebrate his life and grieve their loss. Barbara Dever

Dr. Simpson was one of the kindest people I have ever met. The best part of going into Wilson music building was hearing his booming voice and there was no greater pleasure than to hear him sing. To the family I pray God gives you strength and peace and keeps you wrapped in His love. Adrienne Davis
