                 HONORING THE LIFE OF MR. SHIRLEY QUICK

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. BRIAN HIGGINS

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, March 14, 2014

  Mr. HIGGINS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of Shirley 
Kenneth Quick, who regrettably passed away on March 9, 2014.
   A lifelong resident of Western New York, Mr. Quick was the husband 
of the late Catherine Mack, and was a beloved father to his son Kevin, 
daughter Karen, and their respective spouses Carol and Bill. A 
grandfather of six, Mr. Quick is also survived by a brother and a 
sister.
   Through my association with others who knew him well, the word I 
consistently hear in description of him is ``gentleman.'' A loving and 
devoted husband and father, good mechanically with his hands and 
patient and kind with his words, Mr. Quick was a stalwart resident of 
neighborhoods in the Black Rock/Riverside neighborhoods of Buffalo and, 
in his later years, in the town of Hamburg.
   Though I did not have the fortune of knowing Mr. Quick well, I am 
very well acquainted with his son and daughter in law, Kevin and Carol 
Quick of the town of Tonawanda. Kevin and Carol were devoted children 
to Mr. Quick and this loss must surely hit them, and their entire 
family, very hard. I am honored, Mr. Speaker, to have this opportunity 
to celebrate Mr. Quick's life with you and with our colleagues in the 
House, and to wish the Quick family Godspeed as they begin this new 
chapter in their respective lives, confident in the understanding and 
knowledge of the love and support of their late patriarch. May he rest 
in peace.
