Saratoga Springs, NY - Michael G. Quinn died at his home on March 4, 2016 of complications from Alzheimer Disease. Born on October 12, 1944 in Jersey City, New Jersey, Michael was the son of the late Michael J. and Adele (Eyre) Quinn. He is survived by his loving wife Brenda; his daughter Hannah, whom he adored and was truly proud of; a sister Margot (Boylan) and niece and nephew Laura and Greg.

Raised in Ridgewood N.J. Michael graduated from High School in 1962. He enlisted in the Army and was stationed in Turkey and Germany in the Army Security Agency. After his service, Michael pursued his education obtaining his BA in Medieval History from Rutgers University, a certificate from The Post Graduate Center for Mental Health in NYC, and his Masters degree in Social Work from Fordham University.

Michael met his wife Brenda at Fordham in 1978, the two became best friends and were inseparable from that point until his death. In 1986, after living and working in NYC for 10 years, the couple moved to Saratoga Springs.

Michael was a clinical therapist, a job he loved, for 34 years. He practiced first at the Counseling and Human Development Center on Wall Street and then for the Samaritan Counseling Center of the Capital Region until his retirement in 2011. Michael was a dedicated therapist who never met a client that he didn't like and find interesting. He was an avid bicyclist and kayaker, loved to read, work on cars, tell stories and have "adventures".

The family would like to thank Community Hospice of Saratoga for their compassionate care of Michael and the kindness and sensitivity they showed us during his final week.

A funeral home service with military honors will be conducted at 11am Saturday, March 12, 2016 at the William J. Burke & Sons/Bussing & Cunniff Funeral Homes, 628 North Broadway, Saratoga Springs (584-5373).

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Alzheimer Association, Northeastern New York Chapter, 4 Pine West Plaza, Suite 405, Albany, NY 12205.
