Paul Quinn Obituary
Titusville - Paul L. Quinn, 93, passed away on June 4, 2018 at home.
Paul was born in Longview, Washington to Roswell and Lydia Quinn. He graduated from Kelso High School, Kelso, WA where he starred in football and basketball. Paul was awarded an appointment to the US Naval Academy where he graduated in 1948 and continued in service to his country as a submariner. Paul continued his education with a master's degree from Catholic University (Electrical Engineering, 1962), as he returned to the Naval Academy as a professor and ultimately varsity crew coach. Paul then followed a calling to the ministry, graduating from Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary in 1973 and eventually taking up residence as the pastor of the First Baptist Church of Dover, New Hampshire. Paul eventually returned to academia and coaching at Embry Riddle University where he taught Electrical Engineering and started a crew program that he coached well into his 80's.
Paul was a devoted husband to his wife, Carolyn (nee Bordner), who was very supportive of his endeavors. He had a curiosity and zest for life, always trying new things and helping others. He touched many lives through his years of teaching and coaching and maintained a positive outlook until the very end.
Paul is survived by his daughter, Paula Westcott of Titusville; grandson Daniel Westcott (Emma Cartwright) of Ridgefield, CT; and his greatgrandchildren, Taylor Futch, Kara Futch, Quinn Westcott, Teddy Westcott and Charlie Westcott.
Memorial gifts honoring Paul can be sent to the Overcomers Ministry, in care of Christ Central Church, 4235 Mt. Sterling Ave., Titusville 32780.
A Celebration of Life will be held at Christ Central Church, Titusville, on June 25th at 7:30pm.

I am sorry to learn of Coach Quinn's passing, and my thoughts and prayers go out to his family and loved ones. I am proud to have rowed on his ERAU Crew Team from 1997-2001, and he definitely had a positive impact on all who knew him.

So sorry to hear of Coach Quinn's passing. I'm just one of the hundreds of students and rowers that he affected, but he made me a better person, and I will always think of him as just a genuinely good man who's legacy is all of us who he made better.

Wonderful man of a God. Admired him from my earliest days as a new believer. His gentle nature and his love of people set him apart. He remained so young and involved with people, keeping up with technology. His sermons were so memorable...
Will miss him..but what things he sees now in heaven, most of all His Savior and his beloved Carolyn.
