To the question , What Was Quincy's name?

I read in the newspaper, a few weeks ago that Quincy
was never given a first!!!

I always assumed it was something like "Rightous Indignation Quincy".....

        Quincy's first name is John.  We found this out in one of 
the last episodes, where Quincy was debating whether to marry his 
girlfriend.  He kept getting these flashbacks to his  first  wife
lying  in  her  hospital  bed dying.  In at least one of them she
referred to him as John.

  Now wait a minute!  That's been one of my favorite trivia questions
for quite a while.  I didn't see the earlier question, but according to
several TV Grab-Bag style columns I've seen, Quincy NEVER had a first name.
In fact, the scriptwriters never even made one up (as opposed to never
using it in a show).  Anyone have definite info?

i remember his name being given in one of the last episodes as "John".
This was in the episode where he was pushing off getting remarried
and flashing back to his last days with his first wife in the hospital
as she was dying. I remember being really surprised when she called him
John.
