Bill Quillen was the finest individual I have met in my life. Justice Quillen was a true gentleman; a man of integrity and generosity seldom seen in this day and age. Despite his many accomplishments in life Justice Quillen was a humble man always prepared to lend assistance to others. While his passing is a deep personal loss to his family, it is a profound loss to the State of Delaware.

Dear Quillen Family,
Bill Quillen was one of the kindest, respectful, smartest, and most humble men I have ever met. He,also, had a great sense of humor. His biography is impressive and his accomplishments were many. He lived a life filled with shining examples for others.
I have fond memories of time spent with Bill and Marcia and I am very saddened to hear of his passing. But I know he is happy to be with Marcia again; he always said she was the driving force in his life.
Please...

Tracy and John, very sorry to hear about your father/father-inlaw

In my opinion, Bill Quillen was Delaware's finest judge. Several years ago, while on an Inn's of Court trip in London, my then 21 year old son was very impressed by Judge Quillen, who had conversed much with my son, John.

I was in a body cast back in 1977 and my mom took me down to visit with Marcia to get me out of the house where I was driving her crazy! I couldn't sit I had to either stand or lie down and the Quillens' house was hard to get horizontal in on the first floor so Marcia had me lie down across her bed. My head was sticking out on Bill's side of the bed. I said, " Marcia, there are a lot of penny loafers over here."
"Oh," she said with her characteristic dryness,"penny loafers are all that...

I am sorry to hear about the passing of Bill. He and Marcia were grandparents of the highest order. I would see them after coming from a sporting event of one of their grandchildren. They always had a kind word. My condolences to the whole family.

Dear Dr.Quillen & Family,
Please accept my sincere condolences on the passing of your father. May he reunited with his wife and your mother; and rest in the arms of our Lord and Savior,Jesus Christ.
