My condolences to John's family. We were both in the EP graduating class of 1960.

Regrets to the Family and Friends of Jack Connors. May he Rest In Peace. Jack was a former Classmate and Graduate of the EP Class of 1960.

I too am sorry to hear of the death of Former City Manager John Connors. In Newport we hired John primarily for his knowledge or finances and capital improvement, and in that effort I was very happy to work with John. Also sorry to hear that he had been ill and in Veterans Home but will keep in thoughts and prayers at this sad time. Dave Roderick, Newport.

I am so sorry to hear of Jack's passing. I worked at SBA and Jack was in our SCORE chapter. I am a retired Naval Reserve Officer and Jack was a Marine Officer at one time. We had many conversations about the military and local government. Sorry we did not have a chance to talk one more time. Wonderful man. God Speed Jack

Jack was a good friend and baseball teammate as kids growing up in Riverside. So sad to read of his passing. My prayers to his family.

To the Connors family: Peace.
Mike Connors, cousin and friend, you were there for Jack whenever he needed you. Thank you for all you did. Jean, true friend who visited Jack often and respectfully with Ed, an example of brotherhood.
Rest in peace and in God's love.

RIP my friend Jack. You fought a great battle. A wonderful classmate and a tremendous athlete, on the gridiron and the wrestling mat. You are in good company now with your fellow townies and Marines. Semper Fi.
