Jack Quinn, former White House counsel and powerhouse Washington, DC, lawyer and influencer, passed away Wednesday at the age of 74. That is the obituary headline of a man who used his wonderful life to make a difference in American politics and public policy. A New York-born son of a power plant manager and a homemaker who was the first in his family to go to college, Quinn was ambitious and service-minded from the start. It was at the prestigious Georgetown University law school where Quinn got the political bug that led him to Capitol Hill, campaigns and eventually to the White House as President Bill Clinton’s counsel during the turbulent years of the Whitewater investigation. The powerbroker and top lobbyist in more recent years used his experience and know-how to represent family members of those killed in the September 11, 2001, attacks in lawsuits alleging Saudi Arabia’s culpability. But the man I had the privilege of knowing was so much more. Outside of all that, I knew him as a friend; a husband who loved my dear friend Susanna, his wife of 17 years, with all of his heart; and a father who adored his eight children and 12 grandchildren.
