The numerous times that we talked you always treated me as an equal while I considered you an icon. The unity that defined our community during the civil rights era has been replaced by such bitterness and greed and every time I saw you I was reminded of what our elders stood in the void and fought for. Rest well noble warrior. It was an honor to have known you. The numerous times that we talked you always treated me as an equal while I considered you an icon.

As I pause to remember the wonderful days of the pass and many trips up and down the highways we are blessed and grateful for God's grace and mercy. May God bless and comfort his family and those that knew him best. Our hearts were sadden to hear of the passing of our long time friend the Rev. Dr. HK Matthews.
