Dr. O'Connor you changed my life for the better in 1976 At the Deaconess Hospital of Buffalo Great anesthesia care to me in 2016 to boot Thanks for every thing, Bob

I am so sorry Marie. I am in Buffalo visiting friends. I was trying to contact you while I am here. Saw obituary. My deepest condolences to you and your family Padma

sorry for your loss. We remember Tom coming to church at st. john gualbert. loved talking with him. My husband, Ken, was an usher and watched over him so he wouldn't stray. lovely man. God bless him and all of his family.

Shared many rigorous and HAPPY days with Tom in med school. Wonderful friend! Both of us were Catholic and IRISH. He will rest in peace.

My deepest condolences to the O´Connor family.
