David John Quinn

This is the house our father built, full of kindness and love.
Each crease you see is like the smile on his face. Each creak you hear is reminiscent of the laugh we had as children. As I sit in his chair, I cling to the memories of how amazing our father is. The music he made and the love he shared. How welcoming he was, always opening his home and his heart to everyone he met. These are the memories our father gave me.
My father taught my mother what it means to be loved unconditionally. He showed her the greatness that she always had inside herself. He found his soulmate in my mother, grasped ahold of her tightly, and never let go.
My father taught my sister what a man should be. He showed her what it means to be a husband and a father. He guided her through life until he could give her to a man who had already learned what a man should be.
My father taught me how to be a man. He taught me that chivalry is not forgotten. He taught me compassion, charity, and humility. He taught me what it means to be a provider. I know that I have made him proud by the man that I have become.
My father showed us all how to be magnificent human beings.
Although his presence may no longer be seen or heard, it will always be felt in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to cross his path.
The light of this house may be dimmer today, but the sky above us is brighter thanks to him. This is the house our father built, made a home through his love.
We love you Daddy. We know that you will always be with us, providing a light to guild us through the rest of our journey. Thank you for being so wonderful and thank you for the home you built.
