Not sure what to say?

My you rest in peace patrick. You were a good friend to have.

Learning of your loss reminds us of all the good times we spent at the Muni Pool,and Swim team, mutual friends from North Park, and Mission Hills. My old friend Dennis and not to mention the laughs I had with the Patriarch of the family, Jerome O'Connor while working construction on his Hotel in downtown San Diego. Thanks for all the special memories you left all of us Pat. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family at this time.

I was very saddened to learn about Patrick's passing. He was a smart, funny, caring, and generous person who will be dearly missed. My heart goes out to the O'Connor family.

Patricia, my heart goes out to you, as you must be truly heart broken to lose the love of your life. You experienced so many beautiful times together building your lives into one that i know that Pat will always be with you.

Pat, it has been an honor to have known you. You treated all of your friends with respect and a caring/warmth that made everyone feel special. You were never judgmental, always greeting us with your great smile! Patricia, condolences to you and your family. We have know you two for over 40 years and will cherish the memories. Pat R.I.P., you were one class act!

Patrick was one of those men that I thought would be around forever. He had a big presence and a strong voice. I was shocked to read of his passing and am very sorry to the family for their loss. Its a sad time. Take care

I had the privelege of meeting Pat O'Conner in Julian thru Kirby,and ended up getting to work for him at his place in Julian,and then also in San Diego after that. I actually looked forward to going to work. He would buy us breakfast,and then many times he would buy us a health drink at the juice bar. Over the years he was not just a guy I worked for but a dear friend,and I know my work buddies felt the same. I feel priveleged and blessed to have known him,I will miss him greatly. Best...

Pat, from Old Mission to the O'kona and on and on .Its been a great ride. You will be sorely missed. See you on the other side.

"OC" my friend Rest in peace.
