TROY - Constantine "Gus" Quine, 79, passed away on Thursday, February 2, 2017 at the Home of the Good Shepherd in Malta.
Gus was born in Troy on June 12, 1937 to Peter and Stravrula Eftaxas Quine, both first generation Greek immigrants.

Gus had many hobbies and passions including traveling, photography, classical music, and stamp collecting. His true love was getting on his bicycle and riding wherever his heart desired, documenting his travels with many photographs.
Gus is survived by his loving nieces and nephews and their families and his friends. In addition to his parents, Gus is predeceased by his siblings, Dr. John P. Quine, Georgia Lopez Jenkins, Thomas Quine, and George Quine, Sr.
