BIXBY OK — Henry “Frank” Quinlan, 53, formerly of Ashland, died Tuesday, March 25, 2014, in Houston, Texas.
He was born Jan. 10, 1961, in Chillicothe, Ohio, the son of Charles Thomas and Billie Jean Grissinger Quinlan. He was preceded in death by his father and a nephew, George Hogg II.
Frank, as he was affectionately called by friends and family, grew up in Ashland and graduated from Holy Family High School with the class of 1979. After graduation, Frank went on to further his education by attending Ashland Community College and Ashland Vocational Technical School, earning a degree in electronics. He also furthered his education in telecommunications.
Frank Quinlan and Margie Glockner were united in marriage on Jan. 21, 1989, in Ashland. They recently celebrated 25 years of marriage. Frank worked as an inside plant engineer with Zayo Bandwidth for many years. In his spare time, Frank enjoyed all of God’s work — the sunrise, the sunset and the night sky. He enjoyed woodworking and working projects around the house. He was a Eucharistic minister and set the altar for all Masses at St. Clement of Rome Catholic Church.
He spent all of his spare time with his family, children and grandchildren with much laughter and love. He will be most remembered for his infectious smile, laughter and love of telling jokes. He will be sadly missed by his family, friends, brother, sisters-in-law and many nieces and nephews.
He is survived by his beloved wife, Margie; his son, Sean Quinlan of Bixby, Okla.; daughters Katherine (Katie) Quinlan of Bixby, Molly Quinlan Garrison and husband Jacob of Bixby, Kelsey Quinlan of Tulsa, Okla., Mary Quinlan of Bixby and Elizabeth “Beth” Quinlan of Bixby; his mother, Billie Jean Quinlan of Ashland; a brother, Charles “Tom” Thomas II and wife Judy of Lexington; two sisters, Patricia “Patty” Gray and husband Bob of Lexington and Debbie Hogg and husband George “Joe” of Olive Hill; and two grandchildren, Josie and Macie Garrison of Bixby.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be at 10 a.m. Wednesday at St. Clement of Rome Catholic Church in Bixby. Sharing words of comfort will be Father Leo Ahanotu. Interment will be in Bixby Cemetery.
