John E. Quiggle

(I'm posting this message from Alan Appelbaum that was read at John's memorial service.) John was my very good friend. We met at Ohio University, Athens, Ohio. Together with Dennis Shere, Richard Hine, and the late Sandy Levenson, we developed a lasting friendship. In fact, they became the brothers I never had. We wrote for the student newspaper, The Post.

Fellow Ohio University alum Alan Appelbaum shared with me his remarks that he asked to be read at the memorial service for John on April 20, 2024, and I wholeheartedly endorse those.

He was a man of prayer, believing in its great power and lifting others up to receive God's best. He was always sincere in his commitments and his convictions. I, for one, will miss him greatly for now but I'm looking forward to joining him one day in eternity.

Dear Jill, Brian and family- We are very sorry about the loss of your Dad. Reading his obituary he seems like a very special person. He was clearly a very thoughtful and loving grandfather as witnessed by all the many letters he sent to Caitlin! Thinking of you all and sending love. The Tuccolo Family

Dear Jill,Brian, & family, I will miss John so much as a beloved brother in Christ. John was a wonderful contributor to our bible study.

John would bring chocolates to share with everyone. He was a joy to be with. My deepest condolences to you Jill, Brian and family as you mourn his passing but I know and rejoice that he is home with...

Jill, Brian, Caitlyn, Andrew & Julia, You haven´t been far from our minds since learning of your Dad/Father-in Law/Grandfather, John´s, passing. Holding you all close in our prayers.

Sending our love, Jonathan, Patty, Emma & Harrison

John was a sweet man who loved people and enjoyed helping them reach their full potential in Christ.
