Obituary
Gary M. Quillin
Our beloved brother Gary passed on to his eternal life from his home after his battle with cancer on March 24, 2020. Gary loved music and could name nearly every song and the group who played it. His favorite group was the Eagles. He cherished his guitars and was quite accomplished in playing them to a variety of tunes.
Gary was quick with witty sayings and usually had a comical come back for most everyone. He played Football during his days at Aquinas High School and was an avid softball player with a knack for home runs especially at old Powel Park. He was very loving and loved by all his nieces and nephews, and will be sadly missed by all.
He was born in La Crosse to Marcellus and Verna Quillin on October 18,1952.
He is survived by his Two sisters and three brothers: Maureen (Fred) Quillin – Monk, La Crosse, Kenneth (Grainne Tierney) Quillin, La Crosse, Michael (Lil Zadre) Quillin, Seattle WA., Ronald (Pam Ranger) Quillin, La Crosse, Ann (Gary) Quillin – Larson, Thomaston, GA.
During the uncertain times our society is facing memorial and burial arrangements will be determined at a later date. Coulee Region Cremation Group is assisting the family.
My Dear Cousins,
We are so sad over seeing that Our cousin Gary Quillin died. He was in our wedding, 50 years ago. So sorry we haven’t kept up with Gary the past years. Maureen has told us some things that
he has been going through. Our prayers and thoughts are sent to all of you. We will want to celebrate when a time is set. We hope you are all well and safe through the recent virus threats. Again we hold him in our hearts and prayers. Love and peace to you all.
So sorry to hear of Gary’s passing! I went to school with him at Aquinas. Gary was fun & quite the character! Thoughts & prayers are with your family at this time!
My sincere condolences to Gary’s family. I had the privilege to watch some of those home runs while at his softball games and then enjoying a glass (or two) of beer afterwards. He did have a great smile along with that sense of humor.
RIP Gary
Maureen and family,
My thoughts and sympathy to you in the loss of your brother, Gary.
