Barry E. Quimper Bridgeport, Michigan
Our beloved father, grandfather and great grandfather went home to be with the Lord on Sunday, March 5, 2017, age 77 years. He was born on June 18, 1939, son of the late Francis and Mildred (Duff) Quimper, in Wilkes-Barre, PA. Barry was a graduate of Bluffton University having earned a Bachelor's Degree and later a Master's Degree from Central Michigan University. Education was very important to him. He displayed his passion for being an educator in his long career throughout the Saginaw Public School System. He retired from the Saginaw Board of Education after many years of devoted service. He will be remembered for having a very loving and giving heart. If there was anything Barry could do to help others in need, he was there. He had a compassionate spirit and the world has taken a great loss in his passing.
He is survived by his loving children, Patrick (Leia) Quimper, Kelly (Nancy) Quimper, Christina Betzel and Lynn (Scott) Carpenter; his step-children, Marc, Misty and Tracy; his grandchildren, Gage Quimper, Kylie and Alexis Reinhardt, Jonathan Betzel, Kylee (Abe) Moen, Nathaniel Royster, Brandon Quimper, Amber and Ashley Carpenter; his great grandchildren, Lillian Awe and Jocelynn Royster; his wife, Mary Quimper; also many other special relatives and friends.
