    So very sorry to hear of Mr. Quinns passing, he was one the most amazing teachers of all time. He taught all of my children when they were at Harry Balfour,he was so kind and compassionate. His science lab was something he took such pride in, which he then passed on to his students. I remember meeting him years later and asking about what was happening at the school and told me about starting a breakfast program at the school because he had noticed that many students came to school with no lunch, his words to me were " children can't learn if they are hungry."A very wonderful, kind man, that I'm sure all of his students will remember forever. My deepest smypathy to all of his family, Levola Sedore and family.

    Very sorry for your loss. As a student at Harry Balfour School, I knew "Mr. Quinn" as unfailingly fair and kind, as a teacher who sought to pique the interest of students in the living world, and as a phys-ed instructor who endeavoured to pass along the basic skills of team sports.

    Sorry to hear of the passing of Joe Quinn. Mr. Quinn was my first male teacher when I moved to Harry Balfour. During our trips to volleyball games, our track and field, and a memorable snowball on fight while waiting for our ride home after a volleyball tournament. Condolences to the family. Rest easy Sir!
