To the Junta Family,
I moved to Reading when I was very young and started playing hockey, Quin was the first kid to reach out to me and offer his friendship and help. When we were in high school together, he kept up that spirit of friendship and peace. He was truly a wonderful young man, and even though we lost touch after I moved away from town, I never forgot his genuine kindness. I want to offer my most sincere condonlensces, I will never forget Quin...God bless you all during this hard and tragic time.

To the Junta Family: Quin will be missed so much. The Quin I knew was such a wonderful, respectful, loving guy. He had such a genuine smile. He spent alot of time in my office and when he graduated, I remember hoping he'd continue visiting. He really brightened my day. Words cannot express the sorrow that I am feeling. May the memories you have sustain you at this extremely difficult time. God love and be with you.

Quin at BA

October 25, 2011

I met Quin when he played hockey with my son at Bridgton Academy. He was a good boy who worked hard. The last time I saw Quin he was playing hockey at NEC and after the game I got a big hug and he went into the locker room and brought out pucks for the two boys who were there with me watching USM play NEC. Thats the Quin I will remember.
My condolences to the Junta Family

Dear Junta family. My prayers are with Quinny and all of you. My level of sadness at the loss of Quinny is beyond words. He was a great kid that deep down was a kind and loving person. I will always cherish the memories of me kidding around with him in the locker room prior to hockey games.
He loved a good laugh and his team mates. That is the Quinny that I will always remember. Coach Joel
