After completing his 5-year service time, he received his bachelor’s degree in Education from St Joseph’s University and later received his master’s degree in Psychology from West Chester University.
Mr. Quigley began his working career and had various jobs in education, the airline industry and auto industry before he found his passion of becoming an entrepreneur while he owned/operated TBA Distributors, an auto parts delivery service for many decades serving the Delaware and Philadelphia Counties.
Bill was a faithful parishioner of St Eugene’s Church in Primose, PA and received a well-deserved Papal Honor of the Knight Order of St. Gregory the Great in 1998.
