I have an image of Jim standing in my parents' kitchen talking to my dad on an evening of a small party. This was one of many happy times that we spent with him.
It was always good to be with him. He was very much a gentleman. A great husband, father, and friend.

My condolences to Charlie and family on your loss. Jim and the O’Connors were always great friends to my family. I remember him as being a stoic New Yorker type who always had great warmth and enthusiasm. I remember Mae and Jim and my parents took a wonderful trip through Ireland in the `80’s. My thoughts and prayers will be with you.

When our nephew Chris Fulton married Kathleen, we were blessed to meet the O'Connor Family. The O'Connors, lead by Jim, are a totally warm and welcoming family. Paul and Steve Marianella were lucky enough to be included in one of the family golf outings to Ireland and a great time was had by all. We are so sad to learn of Jim's passing. And our hearts go out to the O'Connor family. We send our loving prayers that you will be comforted by your treasure of happy memories.
