‘Quincy I can’t believe I got lucky enough in this life to grow up knowing your love, wisdom, laughter and light. 

‘The twinkle in your eye perfectly matched your smile and lit up this world. Your humour was unmatched and you made me laugh more than anything, I miss laughing with you. 

‘I love you so much q I will miss you every single day and everyday I will be reminded of your beauty through your unbelievable children. 

‘I promise to look out for Kenya for the rest of my life. She is my chosen sister and has your magic running through her. Love always your pita.’

He worked with jazz giants including Dizzy Gillespie, Count Basie and Duke Ellington, rappers including Snoop Dogg and LL Cool J, crooners such as Sinatra and Tony Bennett, pop singers including Lesley Gore, rhythm and blues stars such as Chaka Khan, and rapper and singer Queen Latifah.
