I remember Jim and think of him often as one of the most personable young men I had the pleasure to work with. He had so much undeveloped potential and remains in my fondest memories of Local 1.

Joe Greco

April 5, 2021

Jim had a brilliant future taken much too soon. I pray that GOD’s grace and mercy will be an abundant comfort to the Quigley family.

Jim was a pleasure to work with. Always helpful and respectful to the older men. His potential was undeveloped and cut way too short. He will always be in my fondest memories of Local 1.

Dear Andrea, Liam, Ella, Baby Quigley & Quigley Family,

So many hearts are broken over the loss of Jimmy. Whether we knew him for many, many years or for only too short of a while, his genuine kindness and wonderful sense of humor immediately made him our friend. He touched our lives in such a manner, that we are truly better for having known him. Though he was taken too soon, may there be peace in knowing that everything that Jimmy was, will live on in the lives of his beautiful children.

You are in our thoughts, our hearts and our prayers. Rest in Peace, Jimmy. All our love.
