Quinn,
Nobody knows me other than you. You made a big impact on all of us that worked at the Kompac Store in Northview. But I can only vouch for myself. I lost it when I found out. I didn't want to work there and not see you come in everyday, listen to you crack a joke or just come in and talk with us. We enjoyed the banter with you . We will miss you dearly. You made a big impact in are lives in such a short time. Thank you Quinn for your service and thank you for the laughs and smiles you helped put on our faces. I would have loved to been able to come show myrespect to you and your family. May God be with them during this awful loss. Lots of love and respect sent your families way.
