It is with great sadness to hear of the passing of Terry.

There was nobody like Terry Quinn. His compassion,
generosity, kindness, thoughtfulness, and unique personality have impacted my life since 1994 in the best ways. I already
miss him and will always remember him with love and laughter. I pray God's blessings on Terry, his family, and all the
friends that will be missing him too.

way.

I can't believe it. The Mighty Quinn? Are you
kidding? If the wonderful picture of good ol' TQ wasn't there in his obituary, I'd say they have to be talking about the wrong
guy.
But, incredibly, there he is.
Terry was a Force of Nature. He was bigger than life. When he entered
a room full of people you could see the smiles rippling through the room as he greeted people, made eye contact, gave a nod
of recognition here and there. It's something that only comes from having a history, a connection, a reputation for
accomplishment, both professionally and personally.
Terry was a "Whatever It Takes" type of guy and a natural
leader. He was more than willing to work hard and sacrifice to achieve and generally those achievements were for the
'little guy' in one way or another.
He was very proud, I believe, to have set the course for our customer-oriented
culture at DECC Mechanicsburg and to be the 'go-to' guy when some dramatic customer challenge would come up. He
had the confidence in himself (and in us all) to jump right in and declare we could fix it, whatever it was. And he was right.
We
salute you, Terry Quinn, and we thank you for having been part of our lives.
Rest in Peace, old friend.

We're all better for having known you and we will be looking for you when we make it to the 19th Hole in the Sky. Rest

I sent the message below to Barb a few days before Terry's
passing. I certainly hope when Barb read it to him it gave him opportunity for another "up to trouble" smile.
I
just heard the sad news about Terry and I could not let this news pass without relaying some thoughts for Terry.
I
would have to say that there is nobody that has known Terry who would not have some funny story to tell. It was my sincere
pleasure to have had the opportunity to work with him. Terry is and always will be a "straight shooter" and that is
my kind of guy.
My prayers and best wishes are with you both.

As we all struggle with the passing of Terry our hearts
and prayers go out to Barb and their families.
For those very fortunate people personally or professionally Terry touched
our hearts, pulled our strings, and left an ever lasting impression on us all.
It didnt matter how bad of a day you
were having. When in the presence of Terry he would make you laugh, remind you that Yes the impossible is possible and
make you feel that everything we did no matter how minor was to make us successful.
You have instilled that Whatever
it Takes Attitude in all of us and have touched our lives in a way that no one else could.
Terry will be in our hearts
forever. Thank you for being a very important part of our lives.
Rest in peace, my very good friend,

I will never forget the first day I met Terry.
His first day at work in SPCC Ops. I had the pleasure of training him on the IBM systems.
I will never forget that
last time I met Terry. It was at Lowes (not too long ago). I had no idea his health was this dire. This was truly a shock.
I
give my heartfelt condolence to the Quinn family!
God Bless!

Dear Barb and family,
I am so very sorry to hear of Terry's passing. Terry
was truly a special guy, always smiling, joking, and clowning around. He brightened everyone's day where ever he went. He
was highly respected and regarded at work both at Mechanicsburg and Chambersburg...his customer's loved him!! Terry was always
the guy that they called when they needed action...and Terry was always the "go-to guy" to make it happen. He was indeed a
rare individual, one that I will never forget. He sincerely cared about everyone and would willingly take on any problem to
try to help them. He was a devout man of faith, a man of great character and integrity, resourceful and industrious with a
quick wit! I have many fond memories of Terry and will always remember the fun I had with him! I certainly will miss The old
Quinnster!!! May God's peace that passing all understanding be upon you and your family during this difficult time.
Sincerely,
Bob

I first started working with Terry way back in the
1980s and was actually his lead operator for awhile. Oh boy, what a challenge and culture shock that was for me, a shy
twenty-some year old small-town guy! I deserved a raise just for surviving! " Don't worry about it, Pollock", was
Terry's favorite reply to my pleas for more quality assurance! Although I am now saddened by Terry's passing, I am smiling
as I remember the funniest guy to ever roam the halls of DECC-Mechanicsburg. Barb, you are one of the sweetest ladies
I have ever met and I am praying for you. I know that God is and will continue to watch over you.

Well, it's pretty hard for me to be at a loss for words. But after reading all of these condolences
to Barb and her family, and the admiration, love,respect and enjoyment we had when we were around Terry, there is not much
more to say! I'm sure everyone who wrote something will all agree Terry was one of the most unforgettable characters in our
lives. May God comfort you and your family Barb.

Barb, I've known Terry for many years from work and the
ALMECH Golf League. I will miss my morning conversations at the Barracks Golf course with Terry. When I would
be arriving, He be packing his golf gear away from playing earlier in the morning. Many times he would leave the golf
cart there for me to use, so that I wouldn't have to walk to the club house. That's how thoughtful he was. I enjoyed
playing golf with him too. I'll will surely miss him.

Dear Barb and family
Im so so sorry for your loss.
For
years, Quinn was my co-worker and my friend. A person good to be with. A guy with an awesome sense of humor, a
warm smile, and that healthy appetite. His common sense and take charge attitude could steady any storm, and we had
many during the DISA consolidations. We all learned from Quinn.
Always primed with a story, Quinn would have
us laughing to tears. I will always remember a potentially life-shortening flight with Quinn to Columbus. Since
the HBG airport had closed due to the weather, his friend drove us to BMI during a blizzard. To depart BMI, our craft
was de-iced and the runway cleared by a team of snow plows. As best I recall, we were one of the last flights to depart
before BMI closed. We arrived in Columbus after the local airport had closed. Our motel had closed for the night
so we couldn't get into our booked rooms. Our meeting the next day, or later that same day by the time we arrived, was
cancelled because the base was closed although we were on site. Proof positive that DISA was manned by crazies like
Quinn.
I shared another trip with Quinn to Pensacola after a hurricane. Our motel had no electric service...
I could go on, and on.
We have suffered a very severe blow. The strength to withstand will come from within us
and from Terry. He radiated life so strongly. He had enough power to last us many years.
It was my great
privilege to know Quinn.
