Dr. John McQuinn

Dearest Uncle John
Oh, what warm and fond memories you have given to me and to many, many others as well. You and Irene were wonderful hosts, as also were my parents. You always made time to spend with us, from my days as a young boy to our last visit in April at Irene's passing. I cherish even the last few minutes I stole alone with you in the hearse out of the rain at the cemetery in Union, saying what I suspected would be our last goodbyes. Your body was frail and your heart was...

Dear Cousins John & Cathy; Maureen & Tim and families:
We were saddened to hear of the passing of your dear father...our "Uncle" John, but can rejoice that he is now resting in peace in His eternal home in Heaven, with his beloved Irene. I remember living with them the summer that Maureen was born, and helping out. Their home was such a loving atmosphere. How they both loved you, their children...and then their grandchildren. We who remain have been left with rich legacies from the...

Dear cousins John and Maureen and familes: Our hearts ache with yours at the loss of our Uncle John McQuinn, your loving father. How sad that he passed away so soon after your dear mother, but now they are together once again in their Eternal home in Heaven.
May God comfort and strengthen you in your great loss, and may beautiful memories flood your hearts every day of your precious mother and father. What a legacy they have left you! Our love, sympathy, and blessings to you all. ...

Dr. McQuin was a wonderful man, whose faith touched many people. His daily "God Bless You" greeting to everyone he came across meant a lot to so many people. As a South High alumni, I enjoyed teasing him about the long ago rivalry between Bryan & South. My sympathies go out to all of you.
