James Quetsch Obituary

I miss my dad. He was such a consistent source of emotional support for me and my family, particularly when any of us were in need of a boost. He felt our hurts perhaps more than we did.

My grandpa was a very educated, smart man. He was a great person to everybody, and the best grandpa a girl could ask for. He will be missed. Love you, Papa Q.

Paula, My oldest and dearest friend, I am so sorry. Your dad was a very kind and generous man. I will never forget what he did for me years ago. We never would of made it to Arizona without his help. He was a witty man and always made me laugh. I know he must have been so proud of the road you chose in life. Keep your memories alive. I know he will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Love, Michelle

The Everts (Colleen, Ed, Kate and Jenny) already miss this wonderful and brilliant man. We spent many Christmas Eves together, discussing our blessings and the issues of the day. I will always remember his mental acuity and his ability to keep people, ideas and things in perspective. We can all recall his “random acts of kindness” and how he made us laugh at ourselves and our foibles. A keen intellect has passed this way. May the angels and saints watch over him.

Sorry to hear of Jim's passing.
"Mr. Quetsch" was my neighbor in West Chicago. He helped me with a legal problem when I was in high school (he would not take payment from me). He was a great man.

I appeared before Judge Questch many times. I conducted 2 jury trials before Judge Questch and have found him to very fair and knowledgeable. I am honored to have known him. My condolences.

Having practiced law in Kane County for more than 25 years, Judge Quetsch is in my mind the quintessential judge. He was always in complete command of his courtroom, and made good decisions. He is the first image I will always have whenever I think of the word "judge". He was also a good guy, and I will miss him.

So sorry to hear of Jim's passing. He was a good friend and a great guy!

I am sorry to hear of your loss. He was quite the person as a judge, and will be missed by all that knew him.

I am very sorry for your loss. I met "Mr. Quetsch" while I was still in college and he was a judge. He was a bright, engaging person, and his love for the law affirmed my interest in becoming a lawyer. He was also a very giving and caring person, and I have very fond memories of him. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Paula, my heart goes out to you and your family. A life well lived is a great legacy, and I know your dad was very proud of you and your siblings. I hope your memories continue to comfort you through these difficult days and that your smiles become more frequent. You're in my prayers.

Sorry to hear of Jim's passing. I am sorry that I am unable to attend his memorial. I shall remember those many great conversations that we had at the old courthouse in the mornings before court opened.

to the family, a loss of a father is one of the hardest, i feel your loss and keep the memories in your heart . linda jude (melby)

I was saddened to hear of Jims passing. We were boyhood friends growing up in Oak Park. I have nothing but the fondest memories of our escapades. My deepest sympathy for the family.

My deepest sympathy to all the family. I was his only bailiff and learned so much from him. He was an excellent judge and I enjoyed our many history discussions after the trials. We are in Florida for the winter and regret cannot attend the memorial.

Notre Dame's Class of 1956 will severely miss Jim Quetsch. He was a good friend on Campus in the '50s, and again as a neighbor when I lived in Geneva in the '90s.. and it delighted me the pride he took being a part of our Class. We were pretty proud of him, too1

Please accept my deepest sympathies.

Dear Martha and family,
I am so very sorry for your loss. Please accept my deepest sympathy. And please take some comfort in knowing you are in the thoughts and prayers of many.
