Matt, Chris, Patty, Danny: Your Dad and I barely had 1 conversation, but he always seemed to know who I was, as part of the extended "O'Connor Company/Associates Family". I'm sure it's become cliche, but I'll say it anyway: 1000's of people owe their careers directly or indirectly to Mr. Ed O'Connor (and brother Billy) - none any more than I.
Best wishes to you all.

To the O'Connor family, I'm very sorry your loss. I still remember the sign in Ed and Billy's office years ago that read " Behold the turtle,the only time he gets anywhere is when he sticks his neck out". I can think of no other man who lived up to that credo as much as Ed. God bless Edmund J. O'Connor. Rick Novak (Gary,In)
