Rotary Club of Utica grieves the loss of Francisco Quintana, Youth Exchange host father.
Our hearts are heavy as we learned this week of the passing of Francisco Quintana, a Rotary Club of Utica Youth Exchange host father. Francisco was a kind man with a gentle spirit who with his family was very gracious and welcoming to our exchange students. Francisco and his wife Jennifer Kemp-Quintana have been faithful supporters of Rotary Youth Exchange, having hosted several inbound students. They were always willing to help us out in a pinch. Also, two of the Quintana children participated in our outbound program. We offer our heart-felt condolences to Jennifer, Mikel, Fiona, and Andreas Kemp-Quintana.
A celebration of life will be held in Francisco’s memory this Saturday, October 12th from 2 – 3:30 PM at the Kirkland Arts Center (KAC) on the Clinton village green; all are welcome to greet the family. Also, all are welcome to attend the 1 PM regular weekend Mass at the Hamilton College Chapel, at which Francisco will be remembered.
