John James Quick Jr.

QUICK, John James Jr., 75, of Richmond, Va., passed away January 30, 2009, after a long and courageous battle with cancer. His father, John James Quick Sr. and his mother, Elizabeth Wiltshire Quick, preceded him in death. He is survived by his loving wife of 43 years, Judith D. Quick; his daughter, Deborah L. Trinite; grandson, Brayden E. Byrd, both of Midlothian, Va.; his son, William C. "Chris" Quick; daughter-in-law, Charlotte S. Quick; granddaughters, Savannah C. Quick and Ashley M. Quick, all of Richmond, Va.; and cousins, Willa Mae Bowman and Betty Jo Moore of Bumpass, Va.; as well as many other cousins. John was a graduate of John Marshall High School. He retired from Media General, Inc. in 1992 after 44 years of loyal service. Not one to be still in retirement, he moved on to a second career of 13 years as a Marshall Starter with The Country Club of Virginia, where he made many treasured and lasting friendships. John was an avid golfer, who worked with junior golfers at Oak Hill Golf Course, and collaborated to create their first Junior Golf Program. He loved music, and was a charismatic dancer whose dance card was always full. John's sharp wit and infectious humor engaged all those he met, and brightened any room he entered. Loved and greatly missed, we will hold our memories of you close in our hearts until we see you again. Godspeed, "JJ"/"Dad"/"Big Daddy"/"Big Pa." We love you.
