Now his widow, Anita, also illuminates his spiritual life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe eldest son of an undertaker, Quinn went on to serve his country in World War II China, become a Jesuit priest, leave the order, and at age forty-six, build a new life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBefore, during, and after the priesthood, he constantly rebalanced the earthly and divine dimensions of his life.
