Maxine and family,
So sorry to hear of Quitmer passing. Will miss him riding the go cart down to the church when we have our yardsale. He always had a smile on his face. May God wrap you in His arms and give you peace.

I was saddened to learn about Quitmer's passing. We were friends during our teen years when we were growing up in the Goucher community. He was a fine person.

I met Mr Quitmer whenever I read meters. I will never forget his shop that had a place to get warm and if I was lucky some boiled peanuts. May God bless you during your time of loss.

Maxine, Chris, Scott, and Family. I am so sorry for the loss of Quitmer. But, to put a smile on your faces, think of Quitmer and Billy Peeler and the "REJOICING" going on in "HEAVEN". What a time those two are having!
