Richard J. Quint

On April 27, 2023 Mr. Richard James “Dick” Quint of Hartland, Wisconsin (formally of Waukegan) passed quietly surrounded by family after a six month battle with cancer at 68 years old.

Dick is survived by his wife Karen; their 8 children Michelle Donnelly of Bartlett IL, Jeremy (Amanda) Quint of Round Lake Beach IL, Jennifer Costa of Libertyville IL, Jonathan (Heather Schmid) Quint of Hartland WI, Dr. Anna (Mark) Miller of Oconomowoc WI, Peter Quint of Waukesha WI, Stephanie (Matthew Barthel) Quint of Waukesha WI, and Alice Quint of Hartland WI; 9 grandchildren; and siblings Margaret “Peggy” (Steve) Szczesniak of Conesus NY, James Quint of Waukegan IL, Barbara (Howard) Gill of Prattville AL, Donna Doucette of Salem WI, and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his father Richard and mother Patricia Quint and his brother Tim (Andi) Quint.

Dick was born October 30th, 1954 in Waukegan, Illinois where he graduated from Waukegan High School in 1973. He met his wife Karen at Beckman’s where he walked her after hours to Bally Muck. They were married seven months later at the Gurnee Community Church on November 25th, 1978. 44 years and 8 kids later… not a bad run.

Dick was a Journeyman Tool Maker who started as an apprentice at Johnson Motors before spending the next 28 years at Abbott Laboratories where he held several patents for diagnostic devices, injection molded parts and processes. He then moved to Adron Tool Corporation where he was an EDM specialist and got the opportunity to make “cool space stuff” for both Mars Rover and Space X.

A Celebration of Life is scheduled for Friday, May 5, 2023 at the Evert-Luko Funeral Home, 170 Warren Ave. Hartland, WI. Visitation of friends and family will be held from 4-7PM. A private burial will be on Saturday, May 6th at The Gardens of StoneBank Cemetery.

The family requests donations to EmmaLovesDogs.org for pediatric cancer research in lieu of flowers.
