Philip Jay Howard Jr MD and his daughter Heather Meisterling RN send heartfelt condolences. We are glad to have supported the Bob Quinlan Breast Center in his honor.

My sincere condolences. Bob was friend , colleague and leader. He was tremendous resource in the field of breast cancer, and was extremely compassionate to his patients. He will be missed by many of his friends and patients.

Bob was a wonderful physician and friend who brought joy to many people´s lives. He made the world a better place. He will be missed.

Bob's passing is a great loss not only family and friends but the community at large. He was always there, along with his wife Diane, to help those in need. I know from personal experience how deep and genuine his concern for others was. He and Diane joined my husband and me many times at our house on the coast and the evening was filled with laughter and joy. He could sure spin a yarn". Courageous in his final years he sets a high bar for us all. Miss you dearly. Dorothy
