Paul Joseph O'Connor

Mr. O'Connor will always be one of my favorite teachers. He taught the stories of history in a conversational way and kept it all interesting. I really enjoyed his style, and his passion for the subject was evident! When he had breaks from class he would often walk down to to the Sky Hi and drink coffees with my dad, also a lover of history. I have never forgotten him. M.O.

Mr. O'Connor was also one of my favorite teachers at Vestal High School. Beth Holleran and I had so much fun with him and he made you take serious, serious notes...pages. I also had the pleasure of babysitting his son once or twice. As an educator now (Elementary and Music) I really appreciate his fun, dry, witty sense of humor along with his high expectations and unwillingness to take bologna. (He gave me detention when I yelled out his window at friends one day...). God bless him in...

Had Mr. O'Connor for history at Vestal HS back in the 80s. One of my favorite teachers ever. Sparked my love for history, for sure. Thoughts and prayers for your family. X - Jamie Wasley Oliver

Mr. O'Connor was one of my favorite teachers at Vestal High School in the early 70's. He made learning fun. Condolences to his family and friends.

Went to school with PJ. He was such a great guy and always was quick with a witty remark. May the Lord bring you peace and comfort at this difficult time. Carol Emmick Dutton.

P.J. was my first love. He will always live in my heart. Mary Leary McIntosh

PJ and I were in the same class. I remember he was tall and handsome. He also was witty with a good sense of humor. I am sorry for your loss. May h= rest in Peace.

May the God of comfort and peace continue to be with family and friends to see you through this difficult time. Hosea 13:14
