Dear Tony I had every intention of coming to your father's wake tonight, the air traffic from Green Bay had other thoughts. I was attending a bishop's installation. The plane was late. Pleae accept my prayers for your dad that the Lord will grant him peace. Also the you and your family will experience the gift of His consolation. I have an all day meeting at Maryville tomorrow so I cannot attend the funeral. Bishop Edwin Conway

I was fortunate to meet Tony through the Quinn family and was always amazed by the stories about his life. He always had my utmost respect and admiration. He will be greatly missed by myself, my wife Floy (Quinn) and all who knew him.

Dear Lorayne,

I remember with great fondness the trip to Italy with you and Tony a few years ago, he was such sport on the golf course, never a complaint. This is a tremendous loss for you and your family and for everyone who knew Tony. My condolences to all of you.
