He worked for the Cowichan Creamery, Island Freight, and Sands Funeral Chapel and was also a volunteer ambulance driver for the Duncan Kiwanis, plus, he became (The Voice of the Valley) for Chief's football games.

Quin retired in 1988, after 29 years of service as the Bar Manager at the Duncan Legion Branch 53.

Quin lived at Sherwood Place and later became a resident at Broadmead Veterans Memorial Lodge, he was a favorite resident of the staff in both places. They all enjoyed his sense of humour, his smile and his personality.

The Mann family is extremely grateful for the kindness and compassionate care the staff showed Quin over the past few years.
