He was known as a community leader and a businessman. He was respected throughout his community, and was one of the first who helped with forming good relations with the white establishment during his time. Ah Quin and his wife Sue had their two story-home on 3rd Street and raised a family of twelve children. Quin's home no longer exists, but the building that housed the Quin family produce business remains next door. He was a highly respected member of the early Chinese community holding the unofficial of "Mayor of Chinatown." Being able to speak bilingual, he was a spokesman for the community and all those who needed him. Sadly he was killing by being struck by a motorcycle in 1914.
