Mr. O'Connor,
Sir, I didn't know you, but I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served with the U.S. Army in Europe during WW II and for being a member of the Greatest Generation. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

I had the pleasure of working and playing with Bernie. He will always remain in my memory as a kind, caring and gentle man.
One particular characteristic on the golf course will always be remembered. When Bernie would strike an errant shot into the weeds or woods we would help him try to find his ball. When one of us would find a ball, and ask him what ball he was playing, he always answered with the question "what did you find?" More often than not, the ball that we found turned out to be the ball that was put in play on the next stroke. This was true even if the ball that went into the woods was a white Titleist and the ball that came out of the woods was a yellow Top Flite.
My sympathy is extended to the family.

As a colleague, Bernie was the best. Everyone enjoyed the big friendly Irishmen. When Quail Creek golf course opended, Bernie got the second earliest tee time, and I had the pleasure of golfing with him for many years.
When my mom and dad were at St. Anthony's, Bernie was working or volunteering at the hospital,and lent a friendly hand when he could. I always appreciated his kind words.
Bernie was loved by all,
Bob Ruebsam, a former Fred S. James colleague and friend.

Bernie was a wonderful and kind man. Jan and I will always remember our lunch in Boston and I will never forget him as a co-worker at Sedgwick, and a golf partner. He was one of the "good guys" with a big heart.
