Quinn was born December 1st 1933 to Millard and Mae Quick in the West Point area of Cullman County, Alabama. He grew up there and graduated from West Point High School in 1952.
Quinn was a competitor and participated in basketball and baseball in high school and as a young adult in Independent Leagues in Cullman and the Birmingham area.
He married Glenda Talley in 1956. He and Glenda settled in the Huffman area of Birmingham, Alabama, where they lived until moving back to Cullman after the birth of their daughter, Vonda, in 1965.
Quinn always demonstrated a passion for sports and was an avid bowler, golfer, hunter, and fisherman. He supported and encouraged his daughter to be all that she could be. He was her biggest encourager and Glenda’s “rock.” He had a special way of making each of them feel loved. Quinn’s pride and joy were his grandchildren. He loved to make them laugh and to tell them how proud he was of them whenever he had a chance.
