RIP Andrew 💔

The Quick's Bus Company family is devastated by the sudden loss of Andrew Wagner, known throughout the motorcoach industry and to so many who loved him as "The Bus Doctor."

Andrew wasn't simply a friend of Quick's or a familiar face around our buses. He was family.

There are some losses for which words simply aren't enough, and today we are struggling to find them.

Andrew's knowledge of motorcoaches was extraordinary, but anyone who knew him knows that what made him special went far beyond what he knew about a bus. It was who he was. His personality, his generosity, his willingness to help, and the genuine love he had for this industry and the people in it made an impression everywhere he went.

It is difficult to imagine our Quick's family, and this industry, without him.

Our hearts are with Andrew's wife Emma, his children, his family, and everyone who loved him as they face this unimaginable loss.

Andrew, we were incredibly lucky to call you one of ours.

Rest easy, Bus Doctor. You will be loved, remembered and deeply missed. ❤️

We will share information regarding services and ways to honor Andrew when arrangements have been finalized.
