Quinn was my best friend though near or far from first grade until his death. I have missed him dearly ever since then. We competed in every sport he played and he always beat me with a few rare exceptions. His children and future generations have an excellent role model in
most ways in Quinn.

Im sorry I didnt here earlier. Quinn and I have been close friends since First Grade at Greendale Elementary School and the Polio quarantine of 1943-1944. We stayed friends to the very end with periods of losing track as I moved to California in 1963 while he went to Nebraska for a period of time. He and I double dated through High School and into our first marriages. We both played many sports/games together and competed, with Quinn always coming in first and I usually came in second. We started our first house painting ventures together while we were still in High School and stayed in partnership into the late 50s. We both played golf during the summer while in high school and would do so again when we got together during the past 15 years Either in California or Oconomowoc. I last saw Quinn and Betts in 2018 but chatted by phone right up until mid-May of this year. I have always considered him my best and closest friend and will miss him terribly. May he Rest In Peace.
