Joseph Marion "Smokey" Quick

Born on April, 16, 1949, a son of the late Walter P. Quick and Loretta Allen Todd. His father passed away when he was young and his mother remarried the late Lawrence B. Todd, whom Joseph always looked to as his father.

In addition to his parents and step father he was preceded in death by, a great granddaughter, Elizabeth Renea Turner; niece, Faryn E. Clark.

Joseph was a DuPont retiree having worked in the maintenance department for 19 ½ years. His true passion in life was riding his Harley Davidson. Joseph was a member and road captain of the Valley Riders. In past years he had also been a member of the Shenandoah HOGS. He loved the wind in his face, loud rumble of the pipes, open rode with no agenda and the brotherhood he shared with his fellow riders. He was a U.S. Army Veteran having served with the 355th Aviation Company as a helicopter mechanic specialist. Smokey will be remembered most by those who knew him as a family man, avid outdoorsmen who loved to fish, someone who would help anyone at anytime and a skilled woodworker.
