RICHARD CONNOR Obituary
RICHARD E. CONNOR
October 29, 1952 ~ November 25, 2014 Passed away peacefully at home in Arlington, Virginia. A loving husband, devoted father, and faithful friend. Rick is survived by his wife of 31 years, Laura; his children, Ricky and Kayla; and his mother, Deloris Mitchell. Rick worked for many years as an attorney at the Securities & Exchange Commission. He had a large group of friends, especially those that shared his love of sports. In the good old days he was a first baseman extraordinaire, effortlessly fielding ground balls and line drives. Later he loved playing tennis with his kids and many of his friends. Everyone who knew Rick enjoyed his patience, kindness and sense of humor. A celebration of Rick's life will be held at the Connor home on Sunday, December 7, from 4 to 6 p.m. Contributions can be made in Rick's honor to Capital Caring Hospice, 2900 Telestar Court, Falls Church, VA 22042.

I never met Rick in person, but I liked the man I met on the phone, a man I talked with numerous times. He will be missed at the SEC. Always helpful. Always a problem solver. I am praying for comfort for you his entire family.

I'm very sorry for your loss. I never met with Rick in person as I work in the Chicago office of the SEC, but I had many occasions over the years to work with him. He was my "go-to" person on any Ethics question and he was really the best. He also provided sound and timely advice. I will miss his wise counsel.

I never met Rick in person as I work in the Chicago Office of the SEC, but he was definitively my "go-to" person for any ethics question. He was the absolute best - providing great and timely advice in absolutely every situation. I will miss his wise counsel.

Rick was someone who I found to be very interesting with a nice voice to listen to, something you don't find to frequently in a place like the SEC. He seemed to be a very nice person, though I did not know him personally.
