Read MoreWas in FHS Band 66-70, when Mr. Simpson came to us in '68. Was an immediate and positive influence on the program. I remember him most for his work with us in the stage band. Some of the best memories of those years. Thanks to you, Mr. Simpson. Deepest condolences to the family.

I was a music theory student under Mr. Simpson in 1969-70. He was great and a hard teacher. Loved it. I'm so terribly sorry for your loss. Thinking of the family and bands. He touched so many lives. His legacy lives on.

I had Mr. Simpson as a Band Director from the 6th grade at Grassland Elementary through High School at Franklin High. He was bigger than life and thou at times could seem very intimidating,was truly a kind and funny guy. I will always remember him and my times in Band. He was a true leader and wonderful Band director. I wish his family my heart felt condolences.
