Kevin Quinn Obituary
Kevin was the son of the late Raymond and Catherine Walsh Quinn, of the Minooka section of Scranton. He was born on Jan. 25, 1954, and resided in the Scranton area until 1980 when he began his professional career in Florida. Kevin graduated from South Catholic High School in 1971. He then obtained an A.A. degree in art science from Keystone Junior College and a B.S. in industrial arts from Millersville University.
Kevin was a master carpenter by trade, specializing in the construction of spiral stairs and decorative woodwork. His spiral stairs and imaginative woodworking projects can be found throughout Southwest Florida, Atlanta, Ga., and Lexington, Va. He not only left behind a legacy in his work, but in his charisma and charming personal qualities enjoyed by all who shared his company.
He is survived by his loving partner of many years, Bonnie Bigham, Bonita Springs, Fla.; four children, Austin, Buffalo, N.Y.; Demelza, Providence, R.I.; Sienna, Ashland, Ore.; and Olivia, Buffalo, N.Y.; three brothers, Peter, Scranton; Raymond, St. Simon's Island, Ga.; and Joseph, Moosic; several nieces and nephews; and the mother of his children, Debra Quinn, Naples, Fla.
A memorial service was held in Naples, Fla., on Friday.

Kevin and were the makers of the day. The stories about us creating and building things at the Industrial Arts Lab at Millersville University are endless. I remember a dupli-carver he made with in-line bearings. I had never see anything like it -- and the neat thing about it -- the thing actually worked like a charmer. But then... Kevin was a charmer. Miss you man!!

Kevin was a trusted friend of mine even though we didn't spend much time together I always enjoyed being around Kevin. We took the Florida state contractors exam together in Miami. I would see him most any morning I went to Skillets for breakfast especially Friday mornings. He was a welcome guest in our home and had supper with us a time or two. He confessed Jesus Christ as his Lord so I am looking forward to seeing Kevin again in Heaven where there is no sickness, sorry, or pain because there is no sin there. He is a soul that I will greatly miss for now. My condolences to family and friends, Mel
