Daniel Quinn, of Calgary, Alta., passed away peacefully after a courageous battle with cancer on Tuesday, May 24, 2016 at Foothills Country Hospice at the age of 73.
Dan was born in Sydney, N.S. on Dec. 21, 1942. He moved his young family from Cape Breton to Calgary in 1967 where he had a long and productive career with the Calgary Board of Education. Dan was a founding parishioner of St. Bonaventure Church. He will be fondly remembered for his love of Celtic tunes, good jokes and a hearty laugh. Dan found joy in the outdoors and was passionate about coaxing trout to an expertly placed dry fly. He was as devoted as one can be to the wellbeing and happiness of his family. We will miss him dearly and we cherish the life he shared with us.
He was predeceased by his parents, Daniel and Teresa (nee Campbell) and survived by his wife of 52 years, Marie (nee Starzomski); sons, Michael (Cynthia) and Neil (Sandy) of Calgary; daughter, Janet (Ron) of Campbell River and five grandchildren, Megan, Riley, Emma, Olivia and Daniel; brother, Joe (Mary) and sister, Sheila (Don).
The family is grateful to Dr. R. Sinha, units 46 & 47 at the Tom Baker Cancer Centre and the wonderful staff at the Foothills Country Hospice.
