RUTLAND – William “Dick” R. Quinn, 80, beloved husband of Anne L. (Hebert) Quinn, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, August 25, 2020 at Oakdale Rehabilitation & Skilled Nursing Center in West Boylston. Born and raised in Marlborough, he was a son of the late William and Rita (Capen) Smith.
Dick attended Marlborough schools prior to enlisting in the United States Air Force. Upon his return from military duty, he met and married Anne and together they raised their family in Bolton. Dick began his sales career with Diamond Shoe Company. He went on to work for several area shoe companies and earned his retirement in 2000 after 30 years in the business. Dick was known to his family and friends as a gourmet cook. He could always be found in the kitchen preparing meals for the family and gathering together for Sunday dinners created many happy memories.

Dick and Anne loved to travel and they spent 15 years returning to their favorite destination, Prince Edward Island. Above all else, he was a dedicated family man and a faithful member of St. Patrick’s Church in Rutland.
He will be lovingly missed and remembered by his wife of 53 years, Anne; his daughter, Christine Leonard and her husband, Scott of Rutland; his two sons, Patrick Quinn and his wife, Patricia of Rutland and Peter Quinn and his wife, Karen of Clinton; and his ten grandchildren.
