Happy Father’s Day! It has been over 40 years since I first climbed these stairs as a skinny little, undersized Irish kid who was scared of his own shadow. Lots of special memories here, along with some great classmates from back in that era. John Michael Hughes, gone far too soon! Never forgotten. I think as we all get older, time seems to unfortunately start moving faster. Personally, I appreciate memories and places like this more now. It’s nice to take a few minutes out of this busy thing called life and return to a simple place from your past. When times were good, and the biggest stress was hoping to be picked for the kickball team that you wanted. God Bless ALL the good dads out there (and parents) on this sunny Sunday morning. You are appreciated. – John “Stoneface” Quinlan – Father’s Day (2024) Taken from: https://www.instagram.com/therealjohnjquinlan/
It’s always humbling to receive surprise fan art. Thank you Taabia Dupree! You are one of my all-time favorite authors and it was an honor to grace the cover of your book, Jessica’s Obsession over a decade ago. – John “Stoneface” Quinlan *Taken from: https://www.instagram.com/therealjohnjquinlan/

Even before I removed the Wolf henchman mask at the end of the music video and reveal myself, everybody already knew it was me. Oh yeah, I forgot…the tattoos, LOL! – Stoneface ***Before the Roof Caves in (Official Music Video) performed by recording artist Brian Walker ***Released May 31, 2024 *Taken from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xScuM9sEO8 & https://www.instagram.com/therealjohnjquinlan/
“As a member of Generation X (age 44–59, born 1965–1980) and about 5 months away from turning 50 on October 30th (but still of course 49 years old now), I often find myself saying, “Where did the time go, and I can’t believe we lost another good one.” Every time I turn around, it seems like I’m being told, “Hey, did you hear who passed away?” or “Can you believe what happened to him/her?” I think now more than ever, along with all my Generation X brothers and sisters, my own mortality is really starting to hit me. Time waits for no man, and we are all vulnerable. I aim to be a good person, a good father, to forgive and forget, and to not hold grudges. Life is short; I treat people the way they want to be treated, and I’m grateful for what I have without dwelling on the things I don’t. I was never blessed with anything special or God-given, so I always simply competed against myself. Sure, many were better and achieved far greater things than I have or did in every chapter of my life’s journey, but that’s OK. If I know I did the very best I could no matter what the circumstances, then that’s all that ever mattered to me, as right out of the starting gate in life, I wasn’t really supposed to achieve anything super spectacular. If you’re reading this and we have ever crossed paths along life’s journey with positive memories, I thank you. As time marches on, many things fade, but memories last forever.” Happy Memorial Day (2024) & God Bless, – John “Stoneface” Quinlan *Taken from: https://www.instagram.com/therealjohnjquinlan/
“One of my all-time favorite things and every time I wear it and look at it, I’m reminded of you Mia. I love you and thank you for making it for me.” – Love, Dad *5/26/2024* *Taken from: https://www.instagram.com/therealjohnjquinlan/
