A man of many words, Coach O'Connor always told us that "rain only bothers dry people." Next time you run and its raining, be sure to let him know you're thinking of him too.

To Caitie and Patrick,
I am so sorry to hear the passing of your father. I'm sure he'll be coaching and running in heaven the first chance he gets.
To Kathleen,
I know "Oakie" was your rock, best friend and life long soul mate as you were to him. Not too many can say that! Be strong Kathleen, I am thinking and praying for you and your family.
My condolences,
Karen Laganas - LPS
