Dr. Quinn's warmth and compassion, in my few interactions with him, are seared into my memory and my heart. Thank you for sharing him with us. Amy Evans

Sending my condolences to the Quinn Family.
Dr. Quinn was not only an outstanding professor, but also an outstanding man who taught me several life's lessons in addition to Religion & Theology. I feel very privileged to have taken 2 of his courses during my time at Saint Mary's.
Thank you, Dr. Quinn. You will always be in my prayers.

Camille and I send our love and condolences to the Family! We will alway treasure the memory of the music he helped selected and played at our daughter Grace's wedding , and 33years ago, at our own! Love, Scott and Camille King

We so appreciate the music he played at Scotts funeral as well as, in the past, for Lloyd and Molly Clarkes funeral. I will always remember the organ at Chapel of the Cross and the wonderful heartening sounds that Van produced. A remarkable career.

Not only an old ,fine neighbor, but provided wonderful music for funerals in our family:Lioyd and Martha Clarke, and my son, Scott.

He was a wonderful musician and his significant contribution to all things musical will remain. My thoughts are with Peggy and their children.

We in Iowa and they in NC. We remember going with Peggy and Van to Washington DC to hear Messien play a premier performance.
Van was always so funny and quick...

Dr. Quinn was an excellent teacher and choir master during my high school years. I was delighted to reconnect with him later on. The world is poorer now without him in it.

Van was the epitome of a gentleman. I have so many memories of his gracious hospitality and the many kindnesses he extended to me when I lived and worked in eastern NC. Music and the Episcopal Church brought us together as organist/choirmasters but we quickly bonded as friends. When I think of him I remember both his wonderful sense of humor and his humility. I could call him if I was in Chapel Hill and arrange for a few hours of practice at Chapel of the Cross and it was never an...

My heart continues to ache over my loss of a special friend and colleague. The obituary is a marvelous tribute to a remarkable man. I'm so grateful to have shared a part of life with him. Deepest condolences to all the Quinns
