Fr. Joe escorted us thru Italy when he was on assignment many years ago. He visited with us often when he was at the retreat house in Dartmouth. He was a patient of our office and we loved every moment we spent with him. He was truly a man of God. We spent many days laughing and kidding when we Fr. Sullivan and Fr. Quinn were together. Del and I are graduates of Stonehill. Fr. Joe has held a very high level of respect in the Carrier Family. Our lives have been enriched with his friendship.
We are sure that Joe and Fr. Sullivan are together and having a Ball.
Thanks Joe for your Faith and Devotion to our MAKER AND REDEEMER.

I grew up at Father Quinn's knee more often than not. He continually teased me about my longer-than-waist-length hair, saying if I ever cut it I'd have to give it to him for when he didn't have "quite so much" My most vivid memory of him is the Sunday I walked into church with a wrapped box for him and the priceless look on his face when he opened it to reveal the remnants of my hair that I'd had cut off to chin length the day before. How he did laugh. He was a beloved leader, confidant & someone I will always hold dear to my heart. God's Peace to you Father.

Father Quinn was the best example of a true priest of the church. He presided at my First Communion at Sacred Heart parish. I always remembered how gentle, happy, spirit filled he was, loved the Red Sox, too.
He will be missed by all, but home with our Lord still watching over us.

Father Quinn was such a big part of our family and spiritual life growing up in Bennington, VT. He was certainly loved by our family and by the members of Sacred Heart Church and the Bennington community.

Father Quinn was truly a spiritual leader in the strictest sense of the word. While here in Bennington, My family and I came to know, love and respect him. He will be truly missed. May the good Lord welcome you into his kingdom.
