Uncle Pap was a special person. I always looked forward to the times we could see them on vacations over the years. Mom (Ardell) and Dad (Antone) would make special attempts to visit his sister and family in Little Rock on those occasions. Though far apart, they were never far from our thoughts and prayers. We will forever miss him. Aunt Frances you can be at peace knowing he is at peace. Love and best wishes from our family

He was a good man and I was proud to know him.
My heart is broken over the loss of Mr. Quenton. To know him was to love him. He was one of the first people I met when I started work at PTC 12 years ago. It was an honor to know him. It was clear that he was proud of working at PTC and his military experience, but more importantly, he was very proud of his family.
Mr. Quenton was a kind and gentle spirit who always wished for the best for people. He was young at heart and he made everyone feel important.
He would always stop in our office to "check in on his girls". We loved his quick wit and interesting stories, which led us to ask questions, that led to even better stories.
He was a highlight in an otherwise uneventful day at work. We are all better for having known him. He was surely the best of us in this world. We will miss you, Mr. Quenton.
Quenton, was a very special person to me. While at PTC he would come by my office and take care of my Peace Lilly, I received from the College when my oldest daughter passed. He even made me a trellis out of scraps of wood used to build the Campus Center. I have cherished it ever since he gave it to me. You all our in my thoughts and prayers. Quenton will be missed by many of us here at PTC.
I would like to extend my condolences to the family. May God keep your family close at this time. Please find solace in 2 Corinthians 1: 3, 4: “Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our trials so that we may be able to comfort others in any sort of trial with the comfort that we receive from God.” -JHC
