Not sure what to say?

Nine years already! Hard to believe. Thinking of all of you today. Blessings from Mimi with much love. Glad he is your guardian angel now and forever.

I served as a Treasury Agent in Jim's squad in New York back in the 1960s. He was a born leader who was respected, admired and well liked by his subordinates.Equally important, he was a lot of fun with great sense of humor and a love of music. One remembrance was of the New York office having a picnic on Governors Island and Jim brought his sons who hosted the group with Irish music.
He was a wonderful guy who will be remembered by all of who served with him and for him.
RIP Jim.

sympathy to all his family on the death of a gentleman,whom we all remember fondly from his visits to sligo.

Pat and family, we are so sorry. Our thoughts are with you.

Wonderful tribute to a great main. I always enjoyed his musical talents when I was fortunate enough to be with the Quinns. Thank you to Patrick and Caren for the opportunity to know this very special man. I know he will be missed, but it comforts me to know he is with Neil. Love, Kathie

A life well lived. What a story and a classic American tale- Irish Immigrant, WWII Vet, GI Bill, Economics Teacher, Treasury agent, 5 amazing sons, a musician, and a genuine role model and patriarch. God Bless James Quinn and his amazing family.
