Not sure what to say?

I am just finding out today of John’s passing and so sorry for the loss of John. I don’t think I ever met John but he was a long time friend of my late husband Russ Baker. They knew each other from the sign business (Signs By Russ Inc) but not sure if they ever worked at the same company. When Russ semi-retired & sold our crane trucks, John was always there when Russ needed a truck. John would reach out since Russ’ death just to touch base & I really appreciated that- I was just thinking of...

John was a true light to all who knew him. I'm sad that I am just learning this news today. We've partnered on many flagpole projects and John was always willing to tackle projects when there was no one else. He will fondly be remembered as the one who can make me smile or laugh even on the toughest day. I'm blessed for having known John. Thank you, my friend.

All of us at Batten Signs were saddened to hear of Johns passing and we will keep the entire Connors' family in our thoughts and prayers. I first met John when I was a kid but really got to know him when I started working in the shop and doing installs. He was one of the most knowledgeable Sign Guys in the industry. You could ask him about anything and he would have an answer for you. I am going to miss him stopping by just to see how we were doing and if we wanted a cup of coffee at Honey...

I’ve worked with John for years, possibly a decade or more. We shared plenty of laughs and learned from him on nearly every project we did. What I know about John more than anything is how much he adored his family, especially his kids and grandkids. John had the gift of giving, of providing, and caring for others.

All of us at Greenwood Bowling League in Wakefield, MA wants to extend our deepest condolences to the Connor's Family. Our thought's & prayer's are with each & every one of you through this difficult time. We knew John from when he worked at Wakefield Bowladrome in Wakefield, MA. John always had a smile on his face that always lit up a room. He had a great sense of humor and he enjoyed what he did for work. We were glad to have met him. We will miss him.

To the entire Connors family, we are deeply saddened by the loss of John. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time. He will be missed by so many.

I was shocked when Kerry called told me the sad news. I meet John because he was married to my friend Kerry. I went to their wedding out here in California. When Kerry & John came out to visit to California I would get together with them for dinner or coffee. He was very friendly and easy to talk to and very good to Kerry. I loved his Boston accent because I also lived in Boston. RIP John you will be missed

Our sincere condolences to John’s total family. He was our go to guy for support with expert knowledge & experience along with a can do attitude that always made it happen.

Respectfully,
Joseph A. Correia

I am really shocked to hear this sad news. I knew John for over 2 decades. John was an exceptional person. He was a hard worker and remember all the times at Malden Square Bowladrome. He really had a way with people. Everyone loved him. Thinking of John, I immediately think of all the stories he had shared. RIP John you will be missed, may the Lord Bless you and your family.
