I still live in Tucson and near the neighborhood where we were kids and I often think about us kids playing football and hanging out afternoons in the lush grounds of Gale Elementary School. Thanks for the great memories even still Tom! I look forward to seeing you Tom in the lush Kingdom of Heaven!

Hello Tom, It has been a year since you left the physical world and buddy I still miss your smile and your friendship. I think of you often and I am glad that you had such an impact on my life. You have been greatly missed and I hope that every time you look down on us I make you proud. D'oh! Your friend and still co-worker, John

I've been thinking a lot of Tom lately. I am so proud to have been able to call him brother. He is dearly missed by so many. May God's light shine on him forever.

My most recent encounter with Tom was in high school in 1983. It is reassuring to read that he carried forward and shared his humor and his commitment throughout his life. I feel priviledged to have shared some time with him. Thank you.

To the Quigley family: I am so very very sorry for your loss. I have so many memories of my childhood schoolmate Tom and they are all very special. I would carpool to OMOS school with Tom and Kevin. After school we would play football at Gale school, drink from the sprinkler heads and goof around till the sun set on us. We had lots of laughs. Sadly I lost touch with Tom as I went to public high school but I heard of his great achievements and was proud to hear. I will away remember Tom with great pride and fondness. I am so fortunate to have known this great and funny guy. May God bless his family.

A hero of a friend, a hero of a father, a hero of a loving husband. and a true hero of the Marine Corps ethos. Through the tears and unbelievable emotions, there can be no doubt that Tom is looking down on us all and smiling with that wonderful laugh and chuckle that was uniquely Tom. Such a shining light!!!

Kelly and I extend our deepest sympathies to you over Tom’s passing. I remember working next to Tom while we were on active duty and that he impressed me as being very thoughtful and always having a sense of humor, no matter how stressful a situation we were in. I am thankful that I knew him. Our prayers for you and Christopher are that you will always remember Tom for the strength of character he possessed, the love he shared with you, and that you will be able to look towards a future time when we will all be together in Christ.

Sylvia and to the Quigley Family. Even when Tom was struggling with his own battle against cancer, he was helping others and serving on the American Cancer Society Tucson Relay For Life. His hard work, enthusiam, and quick smile for everyone will be greatly missed. We grieve his loss with you and pray that the peace of God, "...which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:7)

Tom will be missed by everyone who's life he touched. It always came across that he cared and respected the people around him. He made difficult times easier to deal with simply because he was there. His French toast he made for our Christmas breakfasts was wonderful. I think about Tom daily.

Sylvia and Christopher,
When I was informed of Tom's imminent passing, I was greatly saddened. I spent alot of time thinking of the carefree days of our childhood and that feeling of invincibility that young men carry with them. We are not so invinceable. The phone calls with old friends of Tom's and mine brought back ton's of fond memories of growing up together. Tom was an exceptional human being. He will be missed. My wife Kathy and I send our warmest thoughts and our prayers to all of the Quigley/Ryan/Duffy clan.
Sincerely
Tim and Kathy Quigley

My heartfelt condolences to Tom's family. I too worked with Tom. I knew I could call on Tom when that silly computer wouldn't do what it was suppose to do, he would come down and do what he did so well, fix it and smile. He was such a wonderful man and my pleasure to have known him. One day I will see him again when it's my turn to go home to our Father. He suffer's no more and he is now flying with the Angels.

Thomas Quigley died in the Catholic Faith of his fathers. No one can ask more than that. The members of Miles Jesu have prayed for Tom now for nearly 10 years, and his courageous fight and beautiful death are the fruit of many prayers and a great soul. As one of Tom's first cousins I am terribly proud of him and will miss him...but not for long God willing. We'll meet in our Father's Home up above. God speed soldier!

I too had the privilege of working with Tom. He was never without a smile or an encouraging word. He was a source of encouragement for me when I was diagnosed with colon cancer. Tom was a true warrior. He fought his cancer battle with great valor and courage. Tom wielded his sword mightily. I will sorely him. Rest well, Major Quigley.

I worked with Tom Quigley in the IT Department at Pima County. Tom was always quick with a smile and good humor and was always willing to help. He was seemingly tireless even at times that he was obviously not feeling well from his illness and yet never complained. Everyone here thought well of Tom and we are all better for knowing him. My sympathy goes out to his family.

Sylvia and Christopher, and the entire Quigley family, I am so saddened to hear of Tom's passing. He was a wonderful man and always had a great smile and laugh and he was so great with Matthew, when the two boys would play together. He loved that Mustang car and loved to talk to my oldest son , Michael about what it meant to be a Marine. He is the epitome of what it takes to be a man, father, and husband.

My heartfelt sympathies go out to Tom's wife and son as well as his whole family.
Tom was my first contact with Pima County's IT department and of course I presented him with a challenging and difficult task. He did as much as he could, went back to his department and did what he needed to do to figure it out, it took a few tries but he was able to complete the project and even with a smile. He was my favorite person in IT because of his quiet friendly manner and always fixed the problem, no matter what. He had a great sense of humor and we often talked about our children. (vastly different ages though!)I remember running into him at the grocery store and thinking ohmygosh of course I'd run into someone I know the one time I go the store looking really awful.
I feel privileged to have known Tom.
