The measure of a person is the memories they leave behind. After 30 years I can honestly say I never saw Dick angry. He was a kind, considerate man who's mark has been felt by those he touched. I am happy and proud to have married into his family and with his dear daughter Susan, we gave him 3 loving grandchildren. We shall all miss you Dick, and we will all remember and celebrate the joyous memories of your life. May your warm embrace look down upon us forever.

Dear Helen,
We were so sorry to hear of your loss. You and Dick were such good friends to Ma and Pa and were always there for them, especially in the later years as their health was failing. We will keep you in our prayers as you go through these difficult months and draw on our memories to sustain us. Please let us know if there is anything we can do.

Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. I never had the honor of meeting Mr. Quigley in person but if his lovely daughter Tammy is a reflection of him he must have been an amazing father. Love to you and your family. I am so glad I could be there to support your wonderful daughter in this time of need. xoxo

I had the Good Fortune of being able to spend an afternoon with Dick in late April, along with my Mom - Charlotte Klages, during her vist to Arizona. It was obvious that the visit meant a great deal and brought back a lot of fond memories for Dick, Helen and my Mom. Semper Fi.

Sorry to hear about Rich passing. I walked a foot post in Bayville and got to know Rich as a true gentleman and will always remember many breakfast's at the deli next to the police booth. Rest in Peace my friend. My condolences to the Quigley family. May GOD watch over you.
