Strombone1 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Vancouver Giants @WHLGiants Pat Quinn Passes. bit.ly/1teOk8B It is with great sadness that the Vancouver Giants announce, on behalf of the Quinn family, that Giants Co-Owner Pat Quinn passed away on Sunday night at Vancouver General Hospital after a lengthy illness. "Words cannot express the pain we all feel today for the Quinn family," said Giants majority owner Ron Toigo. "Pat was an inspiration to all of us.

mancaesar Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 It's always sad when we lose someone important to us. He and Trevor Linden were close. Condolences to the Quinn family and everyone who was part of his life. I wish we could all show more appreciation to people while they're still alive. You never know when their time will come. Makes me think of my dad. He's one year younger than Quinn and isn't in the best of health. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
