Robert Clayton Quinlan

With love to Mary and the family, in memory of a great man and my favorite teacher and mentor. Craig Beller

We send our heartfelt condolences to Mary, David, and Tom. It was an honor getting to know Bob over the last years. We were always impressed by his kind heart and gentlemanly manner. Rest in peace, Bob.

Mr Robert Quinlan was my journalism teacher for three years during the early 70´s. I grew as a writer, a leader and a journalist under his tutelage. And chose the same field as my career. So much about how I taught and advised my own journalism students goes back to my experiences in his classroom. I´m retired now, but I still ask a lot of questions and spot story ideas and a few of my own students have gone on to teach and advise publications, so his reach into the future is strong. Rest in...

Going through life our teachers come and go. In my life I remember with clarity only two teachers. My 3rd grade teacher and Mr. Quinlan in high school. It´s because he showed he cared about our education. He celebrated our successes and picked us up when we made mistakes. He made me feel good about my work in his class. RIP Mr. Quinlan. To his family, I´m terribly sorry for your loss.

My wonderful English teacher! NOBODY used the word "ubiquitous" as well as, or as many times, as he! Thank you, Mr. Quinlan. Rest peacefully.

My sincere condolences to Mary and her family. Mr Quinlan inspired my love for Journalism which still prevails all these years later after my 1968 SMHS graduation. And I´ve fond memories of the Q´s coming for cocktails to our home before stepping out for dinner with my parents. It was quite a treat to have your high school teacher in your home & we kids were on very good behavior. Great memories of a great man.
