Joseph A. Quinlan Sr.

Tess and Joe will remain in my memory as the best part of my stay in Olean. They were always there for me and for anyone who needed help. Tess and I played many a game of BINGO for the dear Franciscan sisters in the infirmary. God bless them both as they share one more game in heaven.

What a great guy Joe was! Bob and Sue Bubbs

Be assured of my prayers for the family at this time of mourning. I have many fond memories of conversations I had with Joe. May he now rest in God's eternal peace and grow deeper in Christ's infinite love..... James Vacco, ofm

Reconnecting with Mr. Quinlan on Zoom calls was an unexpected benefit of the COVID era. It brought to mind the inspiring connections he gave me to literature - from Dickens & Shakespeare to e e cummings & Ogden Nash- in our sophomore English class - a class he ruled with a firm stick, a blackboard eraser, and a sense of humor. (He never hit any student - with the stick!). His respect for us, his `65 kids, his sense of humor and fair play was evident to the end. Thanks to his family for...

Our class of `65 advisor with 2 Lindas - secretary and class resident. Mr. Quinlan was always there to give some good advice.

Rest in Peace Joe. I remember with tears of joy and sadness all the time we spent together and with "our gang", The Mangey Boys. I´ll be seeing you soon as I´m called. Love Al Frisina and family.

Joe, it has been a long time since we have seen each other. I was truly saddened to see the passing of your father. When I was substitute teaching right out of college, I would cross paths with your father. He was a really wonderful individual. I know he is in heaven teaching the young angels their English grammar. May God bless you and your family. Again, my deepest condolences for your loss. Angelo Questa
