With deepest sympathy to Mrs. Jean Quigley and the family of John Quigley. Knowing him was very special to me when I worked at MHA, and I shall always remember his kindness to me and everyone who came in touch with him.

John was always a beacon of light for all of us in the health care world. A true gentleman of the higest order, a mentor, and a wonderful friend who will be missed but I know he is about the Lord's work and would want us to waste any time and do likewise. Harry Lowd

My late father, Bob Toland, worked with John at the Soldiers Home. John gave the eulogy at my Dad's funeral back in 1990.

My sympathy and the thoughts of my family go out to the Quigley family at this sad time.
