Dear Quigley family,
I just saw this and wanted to send my condolences to you.
Always fun to be around and another pioneer in the industry gone.

Gretchen - our sympathies to you and your children on “Quig’s” passing. It was always so nice to see his smiling face when we came into the store—and his patience when trying to fit my difficult feet with new ski boots! So sorry we were not able to see you at the viewing. We hope it is soon that the thought of Bill brings a smile to your face instead of a tear to your eye. Cathy & Hal Ruff
Gretchen and Family, I’m so sorry for your loss. I remember skiing once with Bill and despite him saying I’ll throw my poles around like I’m crazy, that I was a relatively great skier. One of my favorite compliments I ever received from anyone. Love the D&Q family.
I am so sorry to hear about Bill’s passing. I worked at D&Q many years ago and it was a special and fun place to be. It was always like a family. Sending much love to Gretchen and the “kids” during this sad time, with wishes for peace and beautiful memories.
Bill you will forever hold a place in my heart and mind for your warm and welcoming enthusiasm and ability to bring a smile, even on a bad day. The love you shared with Gretchen amplified what you both brought to friends and associates. The stories you provided through visits in your shop, your home and travels US and Europe will be a living legacy that I will do my best to keep alive and see that your wonderful spirit lives on. Love ya, Quigs
As a brother, Bill was tough to keep up with...all the time. He worked hard and he played hard. We shared a bedroom like most families in the 40s and 50s because we had to 'make do'. He would wake up at the crack of dawn and pester everyone else to get going. He got involved with sports and pursued them with his typical enthusiasm. Although we went our separate ways as adults, we kept in touch and united at family gatherings. I always admired Bill's ability to dive in and tackle any challenge in life. We loved each other thru 'thick and thin' and could make each other laugh all the time. I won't say goodbye because his Spirit is still with us and I know he is rallying new ski teams in the Heavens. Love you brother... Pete
