Quinten George Quinn
February 19, 1924 — August 25, 2015
Quinten George Quinn, 91, of Denver, passed away August 25, 2015.
He was born February 19, 1924 in Palmer, Iowa, the son of Mike and Essie (O'Brien) Quinn. He attended Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa. On April 7, 1947 he married Mary Kathryn Mahlstedt of Davenport, Iowa.
Quinten is survived by his children, Timothy Quinn, Terry (John) Sanders, Kathy Quinn, Matt (Chris Tolve) Quinn, Pat (Kym) Quinn; and four grandchildren, Hannah Katz-Urvan, Cameron Quinn, Brian Katz, and Shannon Allain. He is preceded in death by his wife, Mary Kathryn (Mahlstedt) Quinn, his father, Mike Quinn and his mother, Essie Quinn.
After growing up on a farm in Iowa, Quinten moved to California to work in an airplane factory, assembling wings for P-51 Mustangs. In 1943 he volunteered to serve in World War II and was commissioned as an officer in the Army Air Corps where he flew C-47 Skytrains in the China-Burma-India Theater of Operations. In the years after returning home, marrying, and starting a family, Quinten enjoyed a long career as a Numerical Control Programmer and Manufacturing Engineer for Sundstrand Aviation in Broomfield.
Quinn was a devoted family man. He read extensively about history and current events and enjoyed using his engineering talents to solve every day problems with everything from string to paper clips. Quinn's sense of humor and his ability to recall Irish tunes impressed and entertained his family.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in Quinten's name to the American Lung Association, 55 West Wacker Drive, Suite 1150, Chicago, IL 60601.
