My name is Tim O'Connor Jr. I grew up on Edmund St. in St Paul and John and Virginia lived upstairs in our Duplex when they first married. I have great memories of both of them. It was a time in the 50's that were very special. Barb was born at around the same time that my brother Mike was born. John and Virginia share a very special place in my heart. My God bless John and Virginia and Family

Virginia, My mom called to tell me Johnny passed away last week. It was sad to hear of his death. I'm sure my father was waiting for his buddy at the pearly gates with plans to pick up where they left off.
My thoughts are with you and your family
