The friendship between Damboise and Camus continued until the writer's fatal accident in 1960. After Camus' death, Damboise created medallions and a bust to celebrate his memory. One of the medallions, made of stone, still adorns a monument in honor of Camus erected in Villeblin in the Yonne, the commune where his sudden death occurred.
