Bill Quinby was my Principal at ,then the new Squaw Creek school ,I believe 1971.4th thru 6th grade. He would be out at every recess jogging around the school yard keeping in shape.I remember watching him referring Hawkeye football games when I was in the boy scouts . My biggest memory was a Monday night football game when he made a sideline call on his back. It made the reviews. He was a man that you do not forget. A very good role model!

To the immediate members of the Quinby family and to other friends and relatives who knew, admired, and loved Bill, my condolences. He led an exemplary life. He was a wonderful man.

To the entire Quinby Family: I have many fond memories in the Quinby home during our high school years of both your parents. What a wonderful and diverse life he had!! Keep all those memories close to your hearts.

Fond memories of my 7-8-9 grade teams’ baseball coach at Franklin in 1960, ‘61, ‘62! Always positive, encouraging. Made it fun! Literally changed my life when he got me, at 15, a volunteer job coaching a 10-11 year old Kids League team. No idea at all why he chose me, but I absolutely loved it and consequently coached kids myself for nearly 40 years. Teachers can and do make a difference. So happy I got to thank you, Mr. Q, in our phone call last fall. So glad! RIP. What a life.

Sending love & hugs from Lee, myself & the entire Community Health Free Clinic Family. He was a wonderful volunteer & for many years stopped to visit us during clinic. A true gentleman. Only Faith, Family, Friends, Time & Good Memories will ease the pain.

Got to know him in high school when he ref'd/umpired baseball/football. Talked to him many times at CR baseball games. Carl Dye, '59, Jefferson HS

Bill was a kid man. Enjoyed his stories while taking care of him at Emery. I was honored to know him. I move away and always ask about him by Marvey. Rest easy my friend! Until we meet again for laughs. Ruby

Bill always had a smile on his face when he watched the Special Olympics athletes compete.
