“Tim’s joy of life, resilience and passion keep us going.  Tim is beloved and admired by so many around the country, indeed the world.”
Cristy Marchand, Executive Director, The Arc of Maryland

“I had the opportunity to hear Tim present last October about moving from a facility-based to a supports model and on into a community building organization. Of course Tim seized the chance to share some "Tim-isms"... Although Tim was referring to our collective efforts he was in many ways speaking of what life portends for us all. Tim embodied the true spirit of our Core Values and the role NCE plays in making a difference in the lives of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Tim touched so many and he will be missed by many, many more. “
Barry A. Meyer, President, NCE Executive Director, The Arc Baton Rouge

“Tim’s dedication to The Arc made a difference in all our lives, especially my son, David Knox, who passed away in 2006. During his college internship at The Arc, David professed he knew he had made the right choice in choosing Social Work as his career. It was at The Arc that David formed a bond with the clients and hoped to make a difference in their lives.  I have vowed to carry on David’s spirit and compassion to help others. Let us all carry on Tim’s love, spirit, compassion, integrity and most of all the respect he earned and so much deserved. Thank you, Tim Quinn, for making a difference. “
The David Knox Family

“Tim Quinn was a remarkable person in so many ways. He made it possible for Amy McKee to become part of The Arc at a time when it would not have happened. We will be forever grateful. His visions for people with disabilities were unbelievable. But the best part was that he worked tirelessly to make them happen. I will forever cherish the time I worked closely with Tim. He taught me so much.  He will be forever missed, but never forgotten.”
Nancy McKee, Parent

"Tim was not only a special person in so many ways, he was also a friend I respected and admired.  We both enjoyed the Marx Brothers and their unique way of combining comedy and beautiful music. We always found a minute or two to discuss them when we would meet.  Tim was a very special leader and human being who could and would be successful in virtually any activity or role that would involve people.  You and your associates at The Arc, Northern Chesapeake Region, were truly fortunate to have Tim as “your leader”.  Not all good leaders are also good teachers, willing and pleased to share their knowledge, and train others accordingly.  Tim was all of this and more.  I for one will never forget him."
Alan Elkin, Advance Business Systems

"I consider it a special honor to have known Tim and to have been a member of  the committee that chose him for the position of Executive Director of The Arc 20 years ago.  He was a tireless worker as an advocate for people with disabilities as well as a good friend over all the years. I cannot say enough about this wonderful man.  May God Bless his soul."
Dick Depkin, Former Board Member and Parent

"I remember Tim when he first came to Harford County to serve as Executive Director of The Arc.  I eventually had the pleasure of working with him closely during my tenure on the Board.  I am very fortunate to have known Tim.  It is rare that someone of his stature crosses paths with you in life.  I am fortunate to have known him, and even more blessed to call him a true friend.  He left us too soon, but not so soon that he did not leave his mark.  Tim was a true Harford County treasure. I will miss him greatly."
Jesse Bane, Sheriff, Harford County
