I knew Frank as a coach and as one of my brother's teammates at IBC. He was a fine man and someone who you would want as a friend. Please accept my sincerest condolences on his passing.

My deepest sympathy to Frank's family. I am also a Quinn cousin, and very fondly remember Frankie as a child. I would often babysit for him, and he was the sweetest young boy. I regret not knowing him as an adult, but I see that others have described him here as a truly wonderful individual. Rest in peace dear cousin. I'm sure your Mom and Dad and Grandma and Grandpa were there to greet you.

My sympathy to Frank's family including his siblings. I will always remember his humor and athleticism. I went to school with Frank and his siblings from St Joseph's thru Benet Academy. I fondly recall all those bus rides and playing at the bus stop as well as many winters ice skating together on the ice pond by their childhood home in Downers Grove. I feel blessed to have known Frank. May his family forever feel his presence in their hearts.

My sympathy to Frank's family. I am one of his Quinn cousins who recall the simple days during our childhood playing at his parent's house in Downer's Grove. One game we played frequently in the dark was called "Free" with the goal to get to that big tree uninterrupted by a tag. You are truly free now "Frankie". I will always remember those great childhood visits when our parents were smiling and the cousins were lost in endless play.

My condolences to the Riley family. It was a pleasure getting to visit with Frank at University of Kansas volleyball games the past four years. He was so proud watching his daughter compete for the Jayhawks. Frank was one of the most popular and accomplished individuals in our class at Benet Academy and went on to become such a great man. I'm really at a loss for words. I just hope all family members realize our prayers are with you all.

On my first day at GBC, I remember meeting Frank. We realized we both were Benet alumni, and from then on he was a loyal, fun, a bit crazy and caring mentor. Later in life, we ran into each other at Benet, and he was thrilled to meet my family and update me about his - all the proud Dad moments. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.

I worked for Frank and recall how professional and personable he was. He always told us when you are in the office you have to do one thing, stop in and see me and tell me how you are doing. My sincere condolences for your loss.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

So many times at GBC/Quartet, I found myself in Frank's office talking to him about ... stuff. But he always talked about this wife and kids. You all brought him such joy. I will forever remember his sunny smile.

Lynn and Family -- I wish I could express the appropriate words, but there are none. I am just so sad for you, Lindsey, Jimmy, Bri and Danny. I know Frank's passing has left you with only memories -- the ones I have of him bring me nothing but a smile. I hope that your own cherished memories will bring you comfort as they do for me. I feel that to have known Frank at all was a gift. I love you all -- Shannon McHugh

My friendship with Frank got me through some of the more frustrating days at work. He was my co worker, friend, my protector... even if I didn't need one. We shared so many fun memories working together. My last time seeing Frank is one I will treasure. We ran into him at the Cubs game. He was all smiles and full of health and happiness as well as hope for me and my future. I will cherish that memory. To the Riley family, there wasn't ever a time he wasn't boasting about his beautiful children and wonderful wife. You were so blessed to have him and he you. My heart hurts today and I send love and hope to all of you! Katy Maloney

To the Riley family. Especially the children.
I spent many, many happy business trips with your dad. Your father and I were partners in crime at GBC. After that time your dad and I spoke often and the one thing you need to know is that all of our conversations always ended about you kids. He was so proud of you and all that you have accomplished. I tried to speak with your dad at least every other week in the past year. The formula stayed the same. We talked about how he was feeling but the conversation always ended with talking about you.
Frank was a good man a good friend and I will miss him very much.
