It was here they discovered, in 1997, the newly-built loft in the Montrose District–their ideal kind of living and working space. They certainly never dreamed they’d spend 30 years in Texas–first in Austin and finally in Houston. When they left Chicago for New Mexico in 1979, Daniel and Rennie Quinn never imagined they’d find a home in Madrid, a tiny former ghost town, or that they’d start a weekly newspaper that would serve a Rhode Island-sized territory east of Albuquerque and south of Santa Fe. But custom dictates it, so here is the main portion of what was printed in the Houston Chronicle and posted to Daniel’s Facebook page and the Ishmael website:ĭaniel Quinn, best known as the author of Ishmael, The Story of B, My Ishmael, and Providence, died of aspiration pneumonia on Februat Houston Hospice. I don’t think anybody ever enjoys writing an obituary, and this was certainly the hardest writing I ever had to do. In March of 2018 I had to write an obituary for Daniel Quinn, my husband, best friend, and great love.
