Jack Quigley

I worked with Jack in 1974 when he was musical director for Proudland Singers. He and his brother were two wonderful people. Jack was gifted, great to work with, and an appreciator of others' musical gifts. I have never forgotten him, and learned a great deal about the music business, as well as how to handle oneself with class and dignity. This was a truly special man.

THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS WITH US. I WISH I HAD KNOWN HIM. A FASCINATING LIFE HE LIVED WITH HIS MUSIC HARRIETT AND PAUL

On your journey my Brother,REMEMBER:
DOGS BARK IN THE NIGHT
BUT THE CARAVAN TRAVELS ON
We will meet beyond the last dune
on the far horizon.
Your loving Brother .. Richard

as you have loved the beauty
and spirit of your loved ones."

Dad thought deeply about life and creativity, and I loved to engage in long conversations (some might say drunken philosophy) with him, to the point of often driving everyone else in the room...

Love you, Dad

Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome...
