Civic leader, contractor Quesenberry dead at 83
By SHANANN GILLIAM, Staff Writer, Coalfield, March 27, 2001
Big Stone Gap and surrounding communities have lost a family member
and friend with the death of Milford Spencer "Ques" Quesenberry.
He died Saturday, at age 83, following an extended illness.
The life-long Wise County resident and decorated war veteran also
was the founder of Quesenberry's Inc., general contractors. He
worked on behalf of many community causes including the
establishment of the C. Bascom Slemp Library and Lonesome Pine
Hospital, where he served as a member of the board of directors.
A plaque honoring Quesenberry was recently dedicated in the new
intensive care unit of the hospital.
Big Stone Gap Mayor Harold Kirk expressed his sympathies Monday
saying, "Mr. Quesenberry has been a prominent businessman and
outstanding citizen of the town of Big Stone Gap. He was a caring
person always looking at how he could do something to help others to
make the town a better place for all of us in which to live."
Kirk also said Quesenberry was a leader in civic and community
activities. "Through his leadership, many significant contributions
were made for the betterment of the community," he added.
Kirk believes Quesenberry will be greatly missed by his family,
friends and anyone who knew him.
"The family has my deepest sympathy," Kirk said.
Quesenberry's long-time friend Charlie Daniels of Norton, founder of
Daniels Plumbing and Heating, Inc., said he believed Quesenberry was
the greatest person in every respect. "We had a fantastic business
relationship," explaining that he and Quesenberry had been business
partners in contracting and real estate since 1946.
"I really missed him since he got sick," Daniels said.
Daniels believes his friend has left a void in the town of Big Stone
Gap's every day business and society. Since Quesenberry became ill
in recent years, his presence has been missed. With his death, the
loss is even greater, Daniels said.
"I just love the old guy," Daniels joked. The fact that Quesenberry
was a year older than Daniels was a running joke between them.
Daniels said he regularly kidded his friend "Ques" about the age
difference.
Daniels' brother Jim said Quesenberry was "one of a kind." He was
everything a gentleman could be, Jim Daniels added - a good family
man, businessman and friend.
Quesenberry is survived by his wife Agnes B. Quesenberry; four
children, daughter Leslie Q. Simonet and husband, Don of Overland
Park, Kan.; son Spencer D. Quesenberry and wife Trina of Big Stone
Gap; daughter Marcia Quesenberry of Big Stone Gap; and daughter
Katherine Q. Messinger and husband Robert of Ridgefield, Conn. He
also leaves his sister Georgia Q. Carver of Kingsport, Tenn.; 10
grandchildren, two great grandchildren and two nieces.
