Tessa Renae Gibson wrote a sympathy message

“You were more than just a father figure to me, you were a guiding light in my life who was the best for the late night long lectures I will never be able to forget and long-winded not to mention. Your wisdom reflected in the countless peices of advice you had shared often accompanied by these lengthy lectures that at times seemed overbearing but real. Yet in the time of need, those lessons became invaluable treasures, shaping me into who I am today. You will be greatly missed Dad! I love you!”
