Q is for John Quigley
who grew up to be a Judge
 |
| John Quigley |
John James Quigley was born 15 Aug 1926 in San Francisco to
John Virgil Quigley and Ethel Elizabeth Sullivan. He would not know his mother
growing up as she died the next year as a result of eclampsia and a premature
delivery of his younger sister, Ann on 26 Oct 1927. His paternal aunt, Margaret
would fill those shoes.
Later in 1940, his southern California cousins, Lorene,
Virginia, June, and Bill Hork along with his mother’s sister, Anna, came to
live with them. June was the same age and they attended high school together.
He graduated from the University of California, Berkeley and then served during
the Korean War in the Navy. He attended Hastings Law School and admitted to the
California Bar.

was elected municipal court judge in 1978 and served for 16 years, retiring in
1994.
He enjoyed life, music, theater, photography and
volunteering. He died 26 September 2008.
