Godspeed, my friend!

When I first moved to tucson, I was 22 years old, 3 months later my rental burned to the ground and Patrick showed up to find out what I knew which was nothing because I was out of state at the time, and a few days later, he came to my new place and brought me McDonald's, such a sweet and kind, caring individual!
This world needs more people like him and it breaks my heart that he passed away this has been over 30 years now

I extend my heartfelt condolences to the family, friends, and colleagues of Pat Quinn, a dedicated member of the Tucson Fire Department. He is an inspiration and his radio voice still plays in my head.

Pat, your were a force to be reckoned with. You were bigger than life with you booming voice and a heart bigger than the outdoors you loved so much. We go back a long ways, and yet I can remember every conversation and every(not so amazing) cigar. I love you brother and I pray for your family every day. Until we meet again. I love you.

From the first time we ever spoke on telemetry and you became Radio voice and all of the other times we talked about Scouts, our sons (both are named Nicholas) and the many times that you talked me out of a panic attack, I will be forever grateful for your friendship. It was a long time ago, but the memories still live on. Condolences to the family. Trouble (his name for me)

I was one of Pat´s Training Captains when he joined Tucson Fire in 1985. We became close friends since then and together, we enjoyed life and laughing at each other´s stories. Pat was a loyal friend and a brave firefighter. Condolences to Sue, his family, and friends and he will be missed by many. RIP my friend.

Pat and I became friends about twenty years ago in Tucson. Our Minnesota roots bonded us and began a special relationship.
My condolences to Susan and Nick and Dan and their families. Pat loved them so much and was thrilled to meet his grandson.
Pat always made any gathering more meaningful and fun. He put 100% into everything he did.
He is now in the arms of the angels. Rest in Peace Pat.

I´ll always remember Pat as one of those big, good natured TFD firefighters who brightened the UMC ER with their ready smiles and quick wits back then. Bonhomie and camaraderie, free for the offering. Fair skies and following winds.

I want to tell you how special Chief Quinn was to me. I am so sad about his passing. Chief Quinn was a remarkable, fun person who welcomed me throughout the years we worked together at Tucson Fire. Your family is in my thoughts, heart, and prayers.
