According to at least one physician, his very conception was impossible. Twelve inches long, two-and-a-half months premature and weighing just over three pounds, Mike survived and thrived for the next sixty-six years. But in 2009, he died suddenly, just twelve days after being diagnosed with mantle cell B lymphoma, a virulent form of cancer that is difficult to diagnose.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn Mike: A Man for Others, author William Allen Quinlan, Jr., Mike's brother, narrates Mike's story and the significant impact he had on those around him. The author presents a personal history that is part memoir and part biography, chronicling his brother's life--his birth as the youngest of three boys; his parental background; his upbringing in Bethesda, Maryland; and his days as a student, US Marine, successful food and beverage manager, dedicated and accomplished golfer, certified member of the Golf Nut Society of America; and a loving husband, brother, father, and grandfather.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAlways heartfelt and sincere, and sometimes humorous, Mike: A Man for Others celebrates Mike Quinlan's life, shares his stories, and teaches about loving life to the fullest, about giving, not taking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William Allen Jr. Quinlan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1458211819\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781458211811\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Abbott Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/12\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 202\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.46d","brand":"William Allen Jr. Quinlan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48518537707775,"sku":"9781458211811","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a209c01a-899a-4aa4-808e-6effdc855cff.jpg?v=1778734772","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mike-william-allen-jr-quinlan-9781458211811","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
