Obituary of Terry P. McQuillen

LeRoy ~ Terry P. "Tuba" McQuillen, age 62, formerly of Fredonia and Rutland, VT, passed away peacefully at home early Wednesday morning (July 18, 2018).

     He was born August 18, 1955 in Batavia, a son of Margaret "Peg" Chambers McQuillen and the late Robert McQuillen.
