Philip Quigley Obituary
Troy - Jim passed away on October 8, after a courageous battle against Parkinson's Disease. Born February 16, 1942 in New York, he is survived by his devoted partner, Kathleen Tebbe, his sister, May Quigley Goodman (Simon), his children Julie Quigley Birgbauer (John), Dr. Robert Quigley (Amy), Christie Quigley Manning (Chris) and his step-children Allison Lalefar (Hermin) and Shannon Smith (James). Jim was the loving and proud grandfather of eleven grandchildren Christie, Bo and JR Brauer, Alex, Max, Ashley and Freddy Manning, Kyley, Caitlyn and Kenseigh Quigley, Amelia Smith as well as his nephew, James Goodman. After graduating from Dartmouth College and Tuck School of Business he enjoyed a long career in advertising that took him from New York, to Atlanta and finally Detroit where he retired. A lifetime lover of all things sports, he was a die hard Yankee and Vikings fan. An avid golfer, he spent his retirement at The Club Ibis in West Palm Beach, Florida doing what he loved most, hitting the links with the guys. Due to the current Covid-19 restrictions, no memorial has been scheduled at this time. Memorial Tributes to: Pet Haven Rescue, 1128 Royal Palm Beach Blvd. #352 Royal Palm Beach, Florida 33411 or First Tee of the Palm Beaches, Box 32123, Palm Beach Gardens, FL 33420. These were two of Jim's favorite charities.

I didn't see this notice until just now, as it was not published in a legacy I normally receive. My very sincere condolences to all my cousins of varying degrees and to Kathy. Though the exigencies of our lives kept Jim and me out of touch for many years, I well remember the times of our youth, building model airplanes in my basement, going to Yankees games on Sundays with father or Uncle Bob, riding around Greens Farms, CT on bikes, going to the Johanson-Patterson fight at Yankee Stadium, getting together when Jim was home from Dartmouth. Jim was always smart, tough, and very well-mannered when he would stay with us before heading to camp in Maine, after Trinity let out. Jim's athleticism always impressed my local friends. I recall my trip to Ibis where he took me to a sanctuary for large sea turtles, his fondness for his Dachshund. He bore his long debilitating illness with the toughness one would have expected. Jim was so proud of his children and grandchildren. The last time I saw him, we were at Penn to see Ashley play squash, which was just before COVID hit. Farewell big cousin.
