- ChristopherMy dad be listening to Quinn and Rose in the Moring , I was 8, and I love listen to them. On 96.9 out of Pittsburgh. Love you Quinn.
- EdwardMarine salute.
- GaryJim would Mock Dick Durbin. Teeny Weeny Dick Durbin lol.
- MichaelI have so many but I think the first time I heard the Biden Heads Up ‘Visiting Angels Americas choice for home care’ I was in my bathroom getting ready and I spit out a huge mouthful of coffee. I laughed so hard I aspirated for a good while and then laughed some more. I was a happy mess. I will never forget hearing that and my reaction. I tell people proudly!
I want to tell Quinn my story. I was a rotten mouthy teen and young adult. I didn’t like my dad even tho he was a good man. It was by Gods design that I ended up working with him from 2003 to 2009 and driving together every morning from Butler to Monroeville. I was already listening to Quinn & Rose so that was our radio choice. A man that I had shut out of my life giving him the cold shoulder, I was now laughing with, discussing and having (righteous) anger with over Quinn’s topics, humor and news. We would talk about the issues throughout the day and over time I realized my heart was softening towards him. I grew up. I realized that God used our circumstance - and Quinn - to repair my relationship with my Dad. I had common ground with him. I’ll never forgot some of those car rides. I apologized to him and asked him to forgive me. And he’s been my best friend ever since.
Tonight my Dad lays in Butler Memorial Hospital in his final days. He’s 81 and has suffered so much these last few years. He’s ready to go home to Jesus.
I’ll forever be thankful to Quinn for his part in my life. He has been my biggest teacher and morning companion. I wrote to him often and I would be giddy when I got a response. I signed my emails Butler Girl. And in my heart I’ll always be Quinn’s Butler Girl.
I miss him and I love him.
Thank you Quinn, for so much, you’ll never know.
Your Butler Girl

My favorite memory of Jim Quinn's show is when he played "Ding-Dong! The Witch Is Dead" (followed by The Wicked Witch of the West melting in "The Wizard of Oz") on the morning of November 9, 2016, following Donald Trump's victory over Hillary Clinton in the Presidential election.
My favorite memory of him in person is when I got my picture taken with him and Rose at The Mall at Robinson in February of 2009.
- PeterHard to pick a favorite, but shortly after the 2000 election is when I discovered Quinn & Rose. So I always think of, "Who’s in the White House… Bush… Bush, Bush!
- Tom"If you hear that Quinn's guns have been confiscated, you will know that Quinn is dead." I guess Quinn is still alive! I was a long time listener and admirer. Quinn first formed my political thoughts as a young adult. He was a teacher who touched so many lives in an entertaining way. May choirs of angels sing thee to thy rest.
- MichelleOne of my many favorite Quinn-isms is driving to work listening to Quinn in the mid-90's. This was pre-Rose, and I believe T.C. Smith was producing. When Animal Rights News came on, it was introduced using Peter Gabriel's Shock the Monkey. Quinn would say "Hit the switch T.C.", followed by zzzzt, zzzzt , zzzzzzzzzzzt ("that was a good one") electric arc sounds. Anyone passing my car on the PA Turnpike would have seem me laughing maniacally. I listened religiously until moving to TN in 1997. There was and is no one on Quinn's level.
-GaryI’d start my day with Jim at 6:00 am n loved his humor, the songs he used for different people n all the sound effects. A real showman n I miss him terribly. The best ever. I am totally lost n would love his comments on all the happening today. RIP my friend
- JoanI remember listening to both of you years ago when Clinton was President. He had on Larry Nickles ? who had this raspy voice and used to talk about the Clintons and their corruption. I loved listening to him, his comments, his humor, his take on current events. May he rest in peace.
- Mary AnnWhen I was a teenager with neglectful parents, you were there, every night. When I was an adult with a horrible marriage and still bad family, you were there. During Covid when I was in my 60s, my children were 100 miles away and I didnt have the friends or neighbors i had before and had been estranged from my toxic family for years, you were still there. You helped me through the worst times in my life and I miss you more than I can ever express. I wish you could see how much your efforts helped change the world right now...never mind, I'm sure you know. Looking forward to seeing you again in paradise.
