In loving Memory of

Fr John Quinn

On the 31st March 2020 Frank's brother died suddenly in his care home in Wiltshire. He was comforted by his Care staff. 

We were unable to visit him in March due to Covid restrictions.We were unable to attend his funeral too. This was a very sad and upsetting time for all his family. He was a lovely gentle, kind , generous man and a wonderful Pastoral Priest. RIP

I never met Fr John but felt I knew him well. He kindly prayed for my mum when she was unwell as he had a special affection for people of the Methodist faith which my mum was. When Frank visited him he always asked for his Methodist friend, my mum. May God grant him eternal rest now.
