Dad,
It's hard to Believe that you have been gone two years today. Although gone, you are certainly not forgotten. Your children and Grandchildren will ALWAYS CHERISH the Beautiful Memories you left us, as well as, your memorable "Life" interview that we
Can now watch over and over. Thank you for giving me your love, your Faith in Jesus and Many Beautiful Memories. Your Forever in my heart.
God Bless you. Love, Julie

Oh the wonderful memories that come to mind when I think of you and Mary. The love and laughter was always there. Your home was where everyone gathered. You are together again and all is well. Love you, Gail

It is so difficult to let you go but at the same time it is comforting to know that you are back in the arms of your Mary in heaven, along with my mom and many others who loved you both so much. I was blessed to have such loving and giving Godparents. Thank you for showing me the importance of family, living a "good" life, and for having faith in God. I will miss you more than you know. God Bless you Mr. O!!
Love and prayers of strength to your family and friends at this difficult time. xoxo

I can't tell you how saddened I am to hear of your dad's passing. As patriarch of one of the most amazing families one could ever know, he epitomized the O'connor liveliness with his beaming smile, sense of humor and hardy laugh! He was always welcoming, generous and kind to me and my family. My memories of him, and your mother, will be of love, kindness and a willingness to accept me, and all of their children's friends as part of their family. I will always be grateful for their hospitality and will treasure the many memories of the times shared with Mr. and Mrs. Oak: From the time your dad drove Timmy and I to Logan airport on our way to California, and although we were running late and your mom was panicking, he somehow still found time for a quick stop at the Irish-American; or the time I called your house around midnight and woke your mom up, after an unsuccessful attempt to walk home from the Melrose T stop after a Bruin's game, she graciously came and brought Scott Ferris and I home; to the famous Father-Son Fishing Trip' where your dad actually made more jokes about my family than Timmy did! I will treasure all the memories and will miss your dad and mom dearly. Peace.

Just one of the old Rainbow Alley - Magee's Corner Gang saying so long. We'll meet again in that Rainbow Alley in the sky.

My fondest memory of you is you sitting in your chair where you greeted everyone that visited! Just a simple hello from you with your smiling, handsome face made anyone feel welcome!! You will be missed by so many but it helps knowing you and Mrs. O"Connor are together in heaven. I will always cherish the memories I have growing up with you in my life!

Your smile was the best medicine for all of us! Your laughter always so contagious. May you rest in God's loving arms free of any pain and suffering. I will hold your memory in my heart until we meet again and at that time we will pick up where we left off...conversation about our families, lots of laughter and memories of our hometown. Rest in peace Mr. "O".
Your Grandson, Matthew

Grampy, you were always the happiest and most social guy I ever knew. I'll never forget all the times I watched "The Price is Right" and "Judge Judy" with you. You always had a smile on your face and made me laugh all the time. I love you so much and will miss you a lot. It brings me great joy knowing that you and Grammy will finally be together again in Heaven. Rest in peace.

It is still surreal to me to know that you are gone. I'm forever going to miss you greeting my brother and I by saying " Heyyy the LeDuca's are here!" Grandpy was always there to add a comical comment or gesture to lighten the mood. He was an amazing father, husband, and grandfather. I hope to sculpt my own live the way he lived his. I'm glad I have two guardians now, watching over me. Tell Grammy I say Hi. I love you and I will see you again.

Dad, you have always been my "Hero" and will continue to be my hero forever. The hole in my heart that was left with your passing will be filled with ALL the BEAUTIFUL family memories you gave all of us.
Give mom a kiss for me. I love
you.
