Ricardo Quinn Obituary
Jones Beach may not be the center of the universe, but it was the heart of Virginia and Ricardo Quinn's all-too-brief life together. They met there on a steamy, summer-in-the-city day in 1988 when he put his blanket on the sand near hers. Both were recently divorced and watching their little boys, who took to each other as quickly as did their parents. "Ric was playing with his son and I noticed him," Mrs. Quinn said. "I was checking him out."
They married just over a year later and kept coming back to Jones Beach. Their favorite spot was Field Six, where Mr. Quinn, 40, made life-size sand sculptures that drew crowds. "He used to make nudes," Mrs. Quinn said, "but they were very, very tasteful."
After serving in the Coast Guard as a young man, he held a few different jobs before finding his real calling as a paramedic with the Fire Department's Battalion 57 in Brooklyn. His partner, Joe Sanders, said he had a gentle way with people.
Paramedic Quinn was promoted to lieutenant after Sept. 11.
In late January, Mrs. Quinn left their home in Bayside, Queens, and boarded a Coast Guard cutter that took her three miles off Jones Beach. There, following Lieutenant Quinn's wishes, she spread his ashes on the waters he loved. Then the cutter returned to port. "It was a long, quiet ride back," Paramedic Sanders said.

It's been six years since I wrote a tribute. I didn't know you, Ricardo, but got to "know you" after seeing your memorial bench at Jones Beach. Field 6 is a fav of mine as it was yours and your lovely wife. I sat on your bench and gave gratitude several times this summer. I never go to the beach without remembering you. Words cannot express my gratitude and respect for your heroism. I thank you will all my heart for your actions and sacrifice that terrible day. Rest in Peace, Ricardo, and wishing Peace and Blessings to your family always. God Bless You All xoxo

Honey, I went to the beach yesterday and felt extremely sad. Sometimes time doesn't heal all wounds. I miss you, I miss Nicky and I miss my best friend Lisa. September is a very hard month for me. I did sit on your bench and me a very nice man named Warren. He told me he lost his father on that tragic day. We shared out stories and wished each other well.
You would be so proud of your sons; Adam and Kevin. I can't tell you the joy that our grandson, Adam Joseph ((AJ) has brought to my life. I love that little boy! You would love Teresa Ric, she is the sweetest person. She loves Adam so much, a great mother and not only a daughter-in-law but a great friend to me. Thanks for blessing me with your family. I will miss you forever.

Hey, 11 years has gone by and I feel like it just happened...I visited your bench yesterday....It changed...It now faces the ocean.....When I got there, there was a man sitting on the bench..I asked him to please get up so I can sit , cry, yell at you, and cry again....You left this world way too early...You missed your son grow up to be a handsome young man, that looks just like his father, you missed your son grow up to be a confident , proud individual, and you are missing the joy of being a grandfather... Channel 5 is reciting the 2, 9 hundred some odd people that died a senseless death...Please take care of my parents, and Augie, and Shayna, and now Lucy.....You never met Lucy, oh , she was a sweetheart.....Someday, we'll all be together again, with no malice, with no jelousy, no worries....Take care Ric...
Love, Gloria

Hey Rick, just a quick note to wish you a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year....You were always good with Augie. My sweetheart passed away on Christmas Morning....Please, watch over her until I get up there..... You are missed dearly, I'm sure you can see your grandson, how handsome he is...But, that blonde hair......Doesn't look like you at all.....He's beautiful...Now, Kevin, a different story,,,You'd be so proud....Growing up to be a handsome young man,And he looks just like you....God bless....

We never knew you, but we helped raise a TSA puppy that bears your name. He is now a very successful bomb sniffing dog, working at one of our nation's airports. Your sacrifice reminds us of the words of Christ in the book of John, "Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends."
Thank you and God bless your family.

Thinking about moving to florida where it's warm all the time...Getting sick of the cold weather....Really would like to move to Hawaii...I actually have 2 friends there...WOW.....Not that....Forget it....if I'm not not going to say something nice, then don't say anything at all.....We are both Aries...Wow, how we are both so much alike....Stay warm up there...and keep our spots fresh for us...I'm sure you've seen my dad by now......Don't go on any ladders with him.

Quinn,
I have so much to thank you for I never got the chance. You had to change you Tour 1 in May of 2001. I got stuck with "The new guy" and you busted my chops for it. Life takes strange turns.
I married "the new guy" in 2002... We both love you and will never forget your bravery, service, dedication and smile.

I knew Ricardo only as a little boy.
My family lived next door to the Quinns in 530. I babysat for Bernardo, Ricardo,and Gregory. I didn't want to believe it when I saw the portrait of grief in The Times, but I knew it had to be Ricardo, because of the mention of nude sculptures. I remembered that his mother Anna was an artist, and had their apartment decorated with nudes; and the picture in the paper looked so much like his mom.
The sweet, shy little boy I knew grew up to be a hero. Bendiciones to the Quinn family, from their old neighbors, the Quirks.

I often see Ricardo's memorial bench at Jones Beach Field 6. I did not know Ricardo, but I think of him and his family every time I go to the beach. I have read about Ricardo's love of Jones Beach and how he and his wife met there at Field 6. Tonight, with another anniversary just about here, I sat on the bench and thought about Ricardo and all of the other FDNY heros of September 11th. I think the bench is a wonderful memorial -- it will always be a reminder of all that was given by Ricardo and all of the other wonderful and brave individuals who gave their lives to help others. God bless Ricardo and his family and all of the other September 11th heros. And thank you for the bench and the flag and keeping the memory alive.

Dear Ginny:
I am so sorry for your family's loss. I did not know until yesterday that your husband was killed on 9/11. I had been thinking of you lately and I felt bad that we lost touch when I moved to Florida in 1993. It was a tough time for me but nothing like you have been through. I have read about Ricardo's braveness and I am sure that you and the boys are very proud of him.
Take care,
Laura

Hi, I didn't know Paramedic Quinn. But I'm a Paramedic with the Chicao Fire Department. So I know what it means to be a paramedic. I also know what it takes. It took a lot for what your husband did that day to run in and save someone else. I have heard so many good things about Ric, he sounds like a guy that I wish I could have worked under. I feel very sorry for your loss.

To the family of Ricardo Quinn:
I used to babysit for "Cardo" and Bernie and little "Geggie" when they lived at 530 Olmstead Avenue in the Bronx. They were such sweethearts. I remember the day I dressed them up and took them to Manhattan to where Anna worked so they could meet her boss and coworkers. I loved those little boys, and I loved Anna. She was so good to me. She let me have my Sweet 16 Birthday at her apartment. Life was tough for her, and I remember how much she loved and sacrificed for her sons. I moved away in 1970 and have had no contact with any of the Quinns since them. So often, I have thought about Cardo and Anna and Gregroy and Bernie and wondered what happened to them. I watched the 911 memorial on tv two days ago and saw the name and picture of Cardo. I hoped that it wasn't the same beautiful smart little boy I knew and loved. Today I checked out this website and found out the sad truth. My sweet little Cardo is gone. He grew up to be a wonderful man, no surprise to me, and died a hero's death. I wish I had know him as an adult. He must have been a terrific dad and husband and fireman. I would like to get in touch with Anna or anyone else in the family. Please email me at [email protected].

Hi I come from Long Island New York and know Jones Beach. Don't get to visit it to often because I am working and I burn easily. I am writing to you because I went on to the internet and checked out Macys website to check out the perfume department. I wanted to purchase a bottle of perfume called Angel by Thierry Mugler when I happened to stumble across an ad that had copper bracelets with the people who died at the World Trade Center. You couldn't choose a specific name or sex of the person. I ordered the bracelet and couldn't wait for it to come in the mail so I could see who I had. It turned out to be Ricardo Quinn. A few days before the bracelet came I came across this website and kept it on my favorites list so I could see if I could get a picture or some kind of information on the person. Well, what a nice looking young man. I will never forget that day as long as I live. Ricardo, was a hero and he will be missed by all. I never met him but as long as I have his bracelet, he will always be a part of my life. I will it with dignity and grace and his picture will be placed in a frame and kept in my room. To Ricardo's Mom & Dad, your son will never be forgot as long as I have the bracelet. Sincerly Yours, Diane McCormick Long Island New York

I never met Mr. Quinn, but I have had the pleasure to know his son, Nick. Who I admire for his courage and his wisdom throughout this terrible time in his family's life. Nick's mother is an exceptionally strong woman who has made the best of a bad siutation and has continued to see the light during this dark time.
May God Bless your family, to grow, to continue loving, and to remember that Mr. Quinn is a hero in our eyes.
I pray for your family, today and everyday.

To Ricardo & His Family,
On the day before the anniversary of losing a old friend, I just wanted to add a little more depth to all the wonderful things that are being written about Ricardo. Many knew him from his job but I will always remember him as a childhood friend from the Castle Hill Projects. Even then, you knew that Ricardo was a true friend and had a big hart. He was very popular and we all enjoyed playing sports and practical jokes (yes, even then). We all suffered with his family when his brother David was taken at such an early and innocent age. It took courage to make such a rich life for yourself after such a terrible event. Your foundation was your past and family and you did such a great deed and gave the ultimate sacrifice..If some fortune teller had foretold your future about 9/11 then, I do not think you would have changed a thing. I do not think you would have wanted someone else to take your place on that terrible day. You can never replace a childhood friend but I think I understand some of what made you special. I lost touch with you through most of our adult life but when we did meet it was as if we were still hanging out at the projects. I have a picture of us taken about May or June. I had not seen you for well over five years at the time. I had never met your wife or sons. But when we sat and drank a few beers it was as if we had been hanging out every day togehter. This picture seemed very ordinary at the time but now is special to me. Who could know you would be gone a few months later? Good Bye for now. Peace and love to you and all your family and friends...
With Love
Jay

Hey Buddy, are you rearranging the furniture in heaven? Or cranking up the tunes? I bet you have the Heinies flowing off a fresh tap. I saw your brother on 3rd watch, where'd he get the Uniform?
Their isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of you, of some sort of Ricardoism. I get this bitterweet smile, laughing at the thought of some your antics and then missing you at the same time.
I'm sure you'd be proud to know that your families wellbeing is being looked after, probably the way you would have loudly demanded.
I dropped by that Gallery in NYC, that is quite a tribute to you and Carlos, I'm sure you got a big kick out of that.
We are proud of you Ric, but miss you so much, keep sending us your love from your special place in heaven.

Dear Friends and Family of Ricardo,
I have known Ricardo in the time he worked at 38th street between 1st and 2nd avenue. I lived in that building for 4 years and remember him very well. He was a very good friend to me and my roommate. One day I went to the beach with Ricardo and his (than)little son. He was always very talkative and entertaining, never a dull moment with Ricardo. I always wished for him he would find a nice girl, since he was just the sweetest guy. And I am very glad to hear he did find that special person. No words can describe the loss of this wonderful person. Know that across the ocean people are thinking of him! I send you my sincere sympathy and wish you a lot of strength for the times to come.

Ric, you were my best friend. Ten years was definitely not enough time. As I sit here with tears in my eyes, trying to figure out just what to say, my mind keeps going blank. Not because I can't think of anything to write, but quite the opposite. There is so much I want to say, and yet I don't know how to put it into words. So many wonderful times we've shared, in and out of the ambulance. So many laughs, debates, and practical jokes. So may talks about our lives, our plans for the future. So much pain and emptiness inside me because I miss you terribly. Ric, you were and always will be, my hero.
You are soaring with the angels now my friend, and I know in my heart you and Carlos will be watching over us. It is a true honor and a pleasure to have been you friend, and someday we will see each other again. You will always be in my heart.
God Bless you my Brother. Sleep well, for this is only the beginning of your journey.

To The Quinn Family;
I would like to express my deepest sympathy to you and your family for your loss. While I never had the privilege of meeting Ricardo, I personally have had the honor of working beside dedicated professionals such as him for over twenty-five years. The loss of Ricardo has made the world a lesser place, but I am sure heaven is now a better place.
I know that no words, deeds or memorials can ever hope to replace what you have lost, nor can anyone of us fully understand the depth of your pain. The only solace we can offer is to assure you that Ricardo will always be remembered in our hearts, thoughts and prayers.
God Bless You,

I has the extreme pleasure of being Ricardo's supervisor while he was assigned to my Battalion 35. We worked the midnight tour in one of the worst neighborhoods in Brooklyn N,Y. He was assigned as a paramedic within the FDNY EMS command. Rick was one of the best medics I have seen in almost 20 years on the job. I would trust my life in his hands and he was a true life saver. He was a funny guy who always made me laugh. By most he was considered a supervisors nightmare but to me Rick was one medic you can count on when the shit was hitting the fan. He was a good guy and good friend and a great medic. I will never forget you Rick. Peace brother you will never be forgotten.

I did know this man, Ricardo and i worked for Flack & kurtz many years ago he was only 18 years old then and i 28, i always remember him as a joyful young man full of life and very spirited. He and i always played this game of naming that tune ,mostly to rock music he got very good at it.I lost track of Ricardo but always remembered him because of the good times we had together. I always wondered if he ever married and had kids i know he was on his way to getting married even then.i recall him bringing his girlfriend over with her little poodle dog.One thing i do know is that he was full of love for her; I hope things worked out for both. May god be with your Ricardo and thank you for your memories and your bravery.

We are deeply sorry for your loss of Ricardo. We thank him for dedicating his life as a fire fighter. Such a profession comes with a wonderful sharing and caring heart. We thank him for sharing his heart with so many. Our hearts cry with you in your loss of Ricardo.
America Cries
We see your sorrow-
and our hearts cry....
We can not erase your pain
but you do not have to face the anguish alone-for we-
-the American people-
are beside you.
We so desperately want to have the touch that brings you comfort,
the strength that gives you courage,
and the words to lighten your spirits.
And when we are left speechless
may the silence of our nation weave love into your hearts
to ease your sorrow.
May you find healing through our nation's strength as we-
-the American people-
face this difficult time together. Our hearts are with you. Teresa Jahn
