Not sure what to say?

I had a profound dream about Bob Quinn prior to awakening this morning. It´s nearly 20 years since his passing. Bob was my brother´s close friend in high school and spent many days in our home playing poker with so many other buddies. I spent a lot of time making grilled cheese sandwiches for all of them. Bob was my first big crush and will always have a place in my heart. His sister, Pat, was also a most loving figure in my life. You will never be forgotten dear Robert Sherwood Quinn. I´ll...

I miss Bob and all the good times we had together as kids and Adults. We had a great friendship. I miss his smile and laugh. Maybe some day we´ll meet up again and enjoy a 49er or Giants game together or even play ball against each other. I have definitely missed you.

What can I say that has not already been mentioned in these truly lovely tributes to Bob. Not only was Bob my best friend, but I was also forunate to have him as my Father-In-Law and marry his daughter Kelly, who I cherish. She has so many of your qualities. Your gift of life will always be with me and even better, it will be passed on to your Grand Children, Jack and Joellen. To this day they still ask about you. They loved you more than life itself. Jack and Joellen are so fortunate to...

God bless the Quinn family. I must say again how blessed I know I am to have known Bob and to have had him help me in my troubled times. He was an excellent coach, friend, advisor, and encourager. At times he as a father figure even to me (of course we were close in age, 10 years, so I knew he couldn't be my father - smile); at times he was my dearest friend -- I could talk to him about any and everything and I knew it was kept private. When we worked together, I had the great honor of...

I was introduced to "Buddha" Bob eight months before he left us and I feel so blessed that I had the opportunity to know this joyful, honest,caring,and loving man. Thank you for the memories, Buddha and God Bless the Quinn family.

Thank you to the friends who shared their memories of my Dad. Thank you to my brother, Bob, and sister, Kelly, for their support across the miles. In this first year, I have felt his earthly absence every day. Every day. But he is with me in spirit always. I recall his words of guidance, support, and humor. I hear his expressions come out of my own mouth and sometimes even catch him in the corner of my eye, reminding me he is near. I miss him to no end; the void cannot be described,...

I want to thank everyone for the wonderful thoughts and many prayers. It has been a long year for us. Through all our triumps and tribulations, I would always share with Dad and he would listen, encourage and celebrate along with us. His grandchildren, Jack and Joellen, and his son-in-law Scot miss him terribly. As for me, there are no words that explain the void. We are fortunate to have known him not only as a Father but as a friend. He taught me what is important in life, what true...

Another year has come and gone... Thank you for continuing to look after us Bob... we all miss you very much.
