To all my aunts and cousins who send their thoughts and prayers, I thank you!
John was my brother. We grew up together in the same house and with the same parents. We have a long history, I will miss him greatly, and my heart is broken by this loss. I have known him longer than anyone else in this world with the exception of our father, Robert Quinlan. Although John had reconnected with his biological father over the past few years, I felt compelled to correct the misleading obituary. I was uncertain as to who wrote it, but I would have been happy to assist with facts and names if needed.
John Albert Quinlan, 53, of Bolivar died at Citizens Memorial Hospital Emergency Room in Bolivar.
He was born to Jereldine Ruth Kelley in Rochester New York, June 8, 1957.
He is survived by his wife Steffenie Quinlan of Bolivar, three children, John Matthew Quinlan, of Idaho, LaTara Quinlan, and David Quinlan, both of Bolivar.
