Mr. Quayle, known for us outgoing personality and conservative views, had been in failing health for several years.
He and his wife Corinne had lived part of each year in Wickenburg since August of 1977, when he bought The Wickenburg Sun, and in recent years they were full-time residents here.
He sold The Sun in January of 1987 to his son Michael, who had worked for the newspaper as its vice president and general manager prior to purchasing it. Michael Quayle sold The Sun to Brehm Communications, Inc. in 1990 and became publisher of the Vincennes (Ind.) Sun-Commercial newspaper.
