David Joseph Quigley

David Joseph Quigley, 72, of McCandless, PA, formerly of Leetsdale, passed away peacefully on May 20, 2026, after a brief but courageous battle with cancer.  Born in Pittsburgh, PA, David was a graduate of Quaker Valley High School (Class of 1970), where he met the love of his life and future wife, Elizabeth (Betsy, Class of 1971).  David’s career included various roles over the years until his work with the airlines, first through Envoy and then American Airlines, before finally retiring in 2020.  David was always extremely crafty and had a wonderful talent for engineering, woodworking, and drawing.  He enjoyed a good joke, a winning hand at poker, his pets, traveling on cruises with his family, and spending time with his grandchildren.
