Leo Buffington Conner

Leo was my senior engineer and life mentor from 1963 through 1968. We worked together on many projects at Motorola GED Scottsdale... I played volleyball in his back yard... he took me on trips to other Motorola program partner firms... he taught me life wisdom that has served me and my family all my life.... Leo was always there to guide me when I was a young engineer at Motorola.... Leo was one of Gods greatest gifts to me and many others! I hope we meet again in heaven Leo! Dick Faser

Can't believe it's been 7 years since Leo's passing. Wish Leo's family a very Merry Christmas and a Healthy Happy New Year.

Naola and family,
Words can't express the loss I feel for this wonderful man who I wish I could have known better. What I do know about him will live in my memory forever; a brave veteran serving his country through two wars, his love for music and his family, and his desire for "doing things right". I can still see the two of you sitting on the floor and enthusiastically listening to me and my little sister playing and singing "The Three Bells" by the Browns". What a joy that was. ...

With deepest sympathy to the family during your time of grief...God is for you a refuge and strength, A help that is there to be found during difficult times...May God provide you with peace and comfort to endure the days ahead.

I have known Leo for my entire life and in that time I have learned the following: Leo Conner taught and motivated through his example, how to be a better husband, father, patriot and man. His example will live on, his legacy will never be forgotten. God bless you Leo.

In 1958, Chet May, the controller of Motorola and the father of one of my close friends, called and asked if I would like to have a summer job at Motorola. I was overwhelmed and of course said yes. I was 17 years old and in my first year at ASU. I was assigned to work under Leo building radar building test equipment from his schematic drawings. I still think of him from time to time and how much fun it was working for Leo. He was absolutely the best and finest person who I EVER worked for...
