God has taken a beautiful, hard-working, saint of a man to the Heavens above. Quinton has touched so many in his lifetime and I was more than fortunate and blessed to have him as my father-in-law. He was quiet and soft spoken, however, anyone that knew him experiened that sharp "wit". I know he has passed this on to his son, granddaughter, and great -grandsons. I will miss you dearly, Quinton and know you are entertaining the family and friends gone before you. Love, Sandy (aka - Sandpile) xoxo
