Happy birthday, Quin! Night before last I had a dream and wouldn't you know, a man walked in the room with the cleanest painters uniform I'd ever seen...I didn't see his face right away but when I looked up, there was the biggest Quin smile I'd ever seen. I'd heard that people are visiting you when you dream about them. Quin was one of the few constants in my life, he will not be forgotten.

I'm so sorry, that I was unable to attend Quin's memorial today. I've had a lingering cold that's kept me out of circulation this past week, but I was there with my wife in spirit! Sending love to Quin up there and out to his family and loved ones. Quin was one of the good souls, and he is missed very much.

I’m very sorry to hear of Quin’s passing, my own father passed in 2020, and I remember that feeling of loss of a parent, and my father was also a staple in the community as Quin was. Sending my condolences to his family through this difficult time, and together cherishing the memories that you have made together which often makes that person feel nearby.  This obituary was lovely. 

After walking the Golden Gate Bridge we walked in Muir Woods and learned about the origination of the United Nations and my first time to see Giant Redwoods. He and l loved the experience.

Q was an amazing presence in my life for 52 years.  I couldn't have asked for a better Uncle.  He was fun for interesting conversations about all kinds of things from sports to culture to food to music, but more importantly than anything a sounding board and emotional / social support as I walked through life.  We had a lot of parallels in life and shared blood and many memories together.  One memory that I have that is unique between us is that we belonged to the same fraternity at Purdue.  30 years apart from joining I remember the night that the initiation took place and at a point in time the pledge book was to be signed I signed it and flipped the pages back to when he joined and it was something I will never forget.  I saw his signature from 30 years earlier and it looked exactly the same as it was at that time when I signed - December 1991.  

Quin was such an amazing guy. When you came to his home you felt the royal treatment and when he called on the phone you always had a special heart felt conversation. He called every thanksgiving and that was always something to look forward to! 

My memories of Quin are that of introspection and solitude.  He would visit my parents on the St Joe River in Indiana and get up very early to take out the canoe when there was no one else around.  He was so interested in the small things in life.  The beauty and serenity that surrounded us.  He would call every year at Thanksgiving when the family was around and catch up with how everyone was doing.  He was strong and determined, but very calm and quiet.  He will be greatly missed.

Quin was an incredible beatiful soul. Always open to striving to try things and positive. He touched so many people. 

Quin was all that and more. He made a difference, and we will always miss him.
