I had the privilege of managing his campaign for Sheriff several years ago. He was a fine gentleman and Integrity described him for sure.

I worked with sheriff Quinlan for many cases on the other side of the counsel table. He was always prepared and represented the public well with his solid decisions. RIP.

I worked with Jim for a short while and his actions were always consistent with his word and his personal and professional ethics. Kind, and occasional mischief maker, he was trustworthy and truly left a positive footprint on this earth. Tender mercies to his family and community.

Worked with Jim while I was a dispatcher at the sheriff's office. It always amazed me how much coffee he could drink, and yet go home and immediately fall sleep. I will remember him fondly.

I know a lot of people knew Jim better than I, but I always knew his decisions and approach to the job of Deputy and later as Sheriff was with compassion, understanding and respect for all. An absolute honest and solid man. After 30 years in law enforcement myself we´re aware how split second decisions are scrutinized for years but Jim weathered all that, was proud of the uniform and was always true to himself.
Rest in peace Jim, you certainly earned it.

I will always appreciate Jim for helping me with situations with my children. He was one of the very few that would listen and look into both sides and see the truth. He was definitely a good man, and father a lot of us did look up to Jill. He will definitely be missed.
