 Dr. Quillen always rises to the top of being my favorite teacher in high school.  A very kind and gentle person and great teacher. My condolences to the friends and family.

Dr. Quillen was my high school English teacher…..and oh what a teacher he was! I attended Rye Cove High from 1990 - 1995. He was a kind and gentle soul who encouraged reading and writing to all his students! I will never forget him! I’m so sorry to hear of his passing. Many prayers for his family.

RIP, dear old friend.   It is hard to believe that since we met as entering freshmen at CNC  some 60+ years have passed.  4 years as neighbors in the dorm with many long nights over illegally fried country ham and hushpuppies discussing anything and everything  -  remember the scandal and many arguments over the “God is Dead” movement!!

Our mutual discovery in Morristown of the Episcopal church which became a long-lasting religious home to each of us.  And the Seance night in an old purported slave cabin.  Our curiosity was unbounded then and has continued throughout our lives.  

Subsequent years of letters, cards, calls, emails and too infrequent meetings spent exploring children’s and young adult literature, obscure mystery writers, and particularly the world of operettas and early Broadway musicals.    How grateful I am that you introduced me to the productions of Ohio Light Opera and that we were able to meet there until the scourge of Covid put an end to that several years ago.  This was to have been the resumption of those summer meetings.

Thank you for your years of friendship and in particular your fond good wishes when I was able to marry Bruce, my partner of 34 years. Your pride in St. Timothy’s openness to all people was so clear when we visited the church.  You clearly found a church home that matched your own understanding of Christ’s gospel of love.

Mr Quillen was a great teacher at GCHS.  He always would greet you with a smile and gentle voice. 


Frank Wayne  was a kind and caring person. Am so sorry to hear of his passing.  RIP friend.  He was a great  teacher too.

Mr. Quillen was one of the best teachers I have ever had. He will be missed by so many people of which he touched on their life's.  William J Austin.

I had the pleasure of having him as an English teacher in high school.  He was always so kind. Even after I graduated,  he was still kind when I would see him out at the store. I remember a friend and I yelled out the window at someone below hanging the flag at school,  and he told us not to act barbaric.  We got the giggles of course,  and that didn't help matters.  I'm terribly sorry to hear of his passing.  May you find peace and comfort during these next days, weeks, and months as you begin to navigate thru life without him.  

Mr. Quillen was one of the finest teachers and a gentleman  I have had the honor to meet. 

Mr. Quillen was a fine instructor of English at Gate City High School early in his career. I was lucky to be in one of his classes. He was an enjoyable teacher who made learning fun. Condolences to his family.


Dr. Quillen was my theater teacher in high school. We all really enjoyed his class and made wonderful memories.  I am sorry to hear of his passing.

Mr quillen was my English teacher in high school and a good one at that. He will greatly missed by everybody.

Frank was a college friend. I admired his wit and his wisdom and will miss him. 

We mourn the loss of a life-long friend and co-worker. Rest in peace Frank Wayne.

 His childlike wonder and enthusiasm, added to a razor sharp intellect, made for an endearing combination in Frank's personality and character. His subtle sense of humor and his unexpected observations made his company a pleasure. He devoted himself fully to any and every project that he undertook, from his church to his book collection. And personally, to Sharon and Shane, I've been talking with a couple of other collectors and would love to have your phone numbers or e-mail addresses to reach you.

Frank was a very dear friend for many years. His wisdom and wit will be greatly missed by those who knew and loved him.

Frank was a fine gentleman and scholar with encyclopedic  knowledge of subjects from literature to Broadway musicals.  He will be greatly missed.
