Mike Quanty was an important person to TNCC for all the years he served here. He was my supervisor for many years and made great changes for the department (Publications and Printing).

I was shocked and saddened to lose an old friend this week. Mike and I knew each other back in Kansas City. I just spoke with him in early December and was looking forward to catching up with him this month. My heartfelt condolences to Bryan and Kelly. He will be truly truly missed.

Mr. Quanty was my favorite professor last semester. I enjoyed his class, and he seemed like a good guy. I had hoped I would see him on campus this semester, and am sad that I will not.

I was very lucky to be in his class in the Fall 2008 semester and I will regret not being able to see him around campus or refer my friends to him, and I believe that my life has been changed for the better because of his teaching.

Thank you Professor Quanty and rest in peace.

Mike will be missed by those who knew him through SACCR. He was a wonderful leader in our organization. He always brought good research reports/presentations to our meetings and was an inspiration to all who had the privilege of interacting with him. For many years Mike and Carol helped with the hospitality events at our annual meetings. SACCR members will always remember his wonderful smile and personality.

My deepest, sincere condolences to Professor Quanty's Family. He was my psych professor in the spring of 2008. He was a joy to have as a professor. He would say things that would get us tickled in class and would smile really big because he had us laughing. What a great person to learn from. God Bless You and peace be with you!

What a terrible shock to learn of Professor Quanty's death! Mike was a wonderful guy and a great friend. He always inspired good feelings, and was the best person to share a talk and a beer. I could always count on his weekday afternoon visits, which were a true pleasure. I will miss him very much.

I had the priveledge of taking Mr. Quanty's psych class summer of 08 term.I adored him I fought him for every point and will always retain his response to me that he did not give me an A that I earned it. He conveyed how deeply he missed his wife and that he loved his family. He will be truly missed.
