Dear Eugene,Gretchen,Eugene,Moira and Michael,



Jennifer and I would like to let you know that although we cannot be there to pay our respects to Peter, that you are in our thoughts and prayers.

I will always remember Peter as a person that was very interested and genuine in hearing what everybody was up to. He always was "very" entertaining and enjoyable to be around. His personality always seemed to be very laid back and comforting to be around. Our memories of Peter will always be good ones.

As I am sure this is a difficult time for you, I do hope that it brings your family even closer.



Love,



David,Jennifer,Lily and Drew Nelson

Dear O'Conner Family



You do not know me, but I met Peter through golf and we became good freinds.



I have shared many good times with Pete particularly his hole-in-one at the 16th at CCB. I remember it like it was yesterday.



He was a freind and a confidant and I miss him. May he rest in peace. Take care guys.

Mr. and Mrs. O'Connor, Eugene, Moira and Mike,



I can't tell you how sad it was to learn of Peter's passing. My heart and prayers go out to you all. Long forgotten memories keep flooding back. Street hockey, ice hockey, driveway hockey, backyard hockey, we sure played a lot of hockey. The mischief we shared brings a smile to my face. Like all who were lucky enough to grow up on TJ Lane, I'll always remember the fun and friendship we all shared. Peter's infectious smile, competitive spirit, and carefree nature were such a big part of it all. I'll never forget our friendship.



I pray that he has found peace. Please know that I am with you all in spirit.

Our deepest sympathies to Mr. and Mrs. O'Connor, Eugene, Moira and Mike.



I will always remember Peter for his laughter and smiling face. Growing up on TJ Lane with Peter brings back great memories: football on the front lawns (Peter running into the tree), hockey in the street/O'Connor's backyard rink and playing capture the flag. My lasting vision will be of my brother John, Peter and Ricky Honsberger as the Three Musketeers (inseparable).



Peter, you will be greatly missed and we will never forget you.

Peter O'Connor was a great guy, very frinedly, and also a very good golfer. No only did we work together when he help manage my accounting needs, but we also played golf together at the CC. He could hit the ball a mile and always enjoyed the game of golf. We will miss his smile and his carefree attitude. He loved his trips to California and enjoyed discussing the trips at length. In his 40 years he made others laugh and smile, and at the same time respect his determination. I will miss seeing Peter. May God bless him.
