Dear Quinn Family,
We are very sorry for loss.I'll never forget the memories I have with the whole family at Goose Rocks.Your family was always welcoming and made me feel like I was a part of the family.I was always invited to stay for the family dinners and they always ended up with Mr Quinn jokingly telling me to leave a dollar under my plate,at least I think he was joking.What a great guy he was and will missed.I think of the family often and am grateful for all those memories.

Elsa and family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I have fond memories of Mike (or Joe DiMaggio as my brother Brian would call him.) You are all in my thoughts during this difficult time.

When I joined Simmons Mattress Company in 1997 Mike was so outgoing and welcoming. He was my first true friend in the industry. We had some great times on company trips that gave us both some great memories. Mike played a big role in the success that I have enjoyed in the mattress industry and for that I am forever grateful.

Elsa, Nancy, Tricia & Kevin,
We were so saddened to hear Mike had passed. He was such a wonderful guy and we have such happy memories of times spent together at Sanford/Hannegan family gatherings, relaxing at Goose Rocks beach, sharing a laugh at Trenton Street, etc. We are thinking of you and just wish we lived closer at a time like this. Sending hugs!

Mike was a very dear friend of mine. We worked together at Simmons. He was my companion at all the markets and sales meeting I attended. He was the welcoming smile when I was afraid to enter the room. He was a wonderful man. I'm so honored to be able to call him my friend. My heart is truly broken.
Mike
