I am deeply sorry to hear about Tom. He was a great guy. I had a lot of fun with him over the years. At bowling tournaments and golf tournaments and having a few beers after union meetings. I'm really sorry I didn't get to see him last summer. I wasn't able to make it up to Minnesota last year. God bless Tom.

My heart goes out to all the O'Connor family and friends. Tom was a good man and will be missed, he always treated me with kindness and compassion, and I thank him for that. All of you will be in my thoughts and prayers...

Tom was such a straight up guy. What you see is what you got. He made the every occasion special. Whether it was softball, broomball, St Patrick's day parade or any other event. You always knew that OC was there. He gave everything 100% and I was very happy that he was part of my life. He was timeless and will be missed.
Thanks Tom for all you did to encourage and inspire so many people.

To the OConnor family: Please accept my deepest condolences. Take as much time as you need to cope with your grief and always look to God, who loves us, for everlasting comfort. (2 Thessalonians 2:16, 17)
