I am truly sorry that I never had the opportunity to meet Mr. Quinn. I am a student and avid reader of World War II military history. This generation of heros and I truly mean heros are our country's most precious asset. I work with Mr. Quinn's son, Bob, and I know from first hand experience what a outstanding son Mr. and Mrs. Quinn raised, that I feel Bob is a shining example of his father. I count it an honor to have served with his son. My deepest sympathies and condolences to the Quinn family. America has lost another hero.

Dear Jeanne and family:



I am sorry for the passing of your father. Your father and the rest of your family welcomed me with a heartfelt "Aloha" when I visited you in Chicago. I pray that you and your family can find comfort in knowing that your father is comfortable in a better place.



I know your dad loved to golf and was hoping to play a round of golf with him sometime. He must be having a blast golfing in heaven . . . nothing but hole in ones, eagles and birdies.



I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. Please know that I am here for you if you should ever need anything.



Love, Alissa

As a co-worker of Carolyn's, I never had the occasion to meet Mr. Quinn, we often talked fondly of the family connection. My heart goes out to all of you with your recent loss, and especially at this time of year when so much focus is placed on the importance of our families. May you gain strength in your family ties.

Dear Pat and family,

I am so deeply sorry for your loss, words are insufficient to express how sad I am for you and how much I'll miss Bob. Even though I never got to meet him in person, over the past year he became part of my day at work, I'll miss him calling me "Juliet me love" which is how he always greeted me making my day a little brighter.

Bob was a wonderful, caring man and he will be deeply missed.

Pat if there is anything I can do for you and your family, please let me know.
