Not sure what to say?

I was told some years ago by his mom that we were related. She always wanted Gladys and I to meet. I wish I could have done this before she passed. However she always talked about her son and her family members. I regret not meeting him and the others. Rest in peace my brother forever in my thoughts and prayers

Thank you for being a part of the wonderful group "The Pips" . I loved the sound and moves and I will always cherish the great music and this music will be here forever and for generations to come and enjoy as well!!

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

Memories like the corners of my mind! I´ve been following this group since 1966. I´ve been so blessed to have loved them through their music and had the awesome opportunity to spend a weekend with them in Hollywood Florida. Thanks to Buddha records and most of all to God who knew I wanted so badly. My condolences. I know it´s been some years now, but he made such a positive. Impression on me was such a nice man just want the family to know his legacy does live on. Very talented man! Monique...

To my Family In Christ sending Prayers & Love

As a young boy coming up in the 60´s , mom would treat us to seeing Ms. Knight and her Pips at the old Uptown theater.I always remember Mr. Guest being the best dancer of the 3. After the show , I´d come home and try doing the Pips moves. I was all but 7 years old. Those were the good old days !!!

Although it´s a few years ago since he passed away I do think of the wonderful music he created with his family. He will always be remembered as on of the PIPS!!! RIP

My heartfelt sympathy to the family's...May God be a God of all Comfort...

Mr. Guest thank you so much for sharing your gift and talent with the entire world. Each time you were all on stage before your audience, it brought a smile to our faces. We love you. You will be remembered and missed. We honor your legacy.
