Coach Quinn thank you for being my coach and helping me grow up at St. Rita High school. You were a tough, fair and a gentleman. Always there to welcome us back and always had time to say hello and ask how we are doing. May God bless you and your family. Rest In Peace.

The Reynolds family sends our prayers and condolences to Mrs. Quinn and the entire Quinn Family. Coach Quinn will always be remembered fondly as one or our very first contacts with St. Rita. We had no previous history or connection with St. Rita, but Coach Quinn greeted us warmly and made us feel welcome from the very first day! We are most thankful for how he and Coach Schaller welcomed our son Jack (whom they dubbed J.R.) into the football program as a student manager. Their guidance and leadership will never be forgotten. God Bless you all. Sue, Mike and Jack Reynolds
