Richard O'Connor Obituary

OCONNOR - Richard W. June 5, 2008, son of the late Walter and Jean; brother of Cameron H. (Stephanie); father of Christopher and Bridget; dear friend of Christine Solberg. No prior visitation. Friends are invited to attend a memorial service Tuesday at the DENGLER & ROBERTS FUNERAL HOME, 3000 Delaware Ave, Kenmore at 5 PM. Richard was a longtime employee of Defender Inc. and a longtime barkeeper that kept smiles on thousands of people who frequented the bars on Allen, Elmwood and Hertel Ave Strips in the 70s & 80s. He was an avid reader of WWII and Civil War History. Flowers gratefully declined. Toasts to his memory are welcome.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

I'll raise an Irish toast to Richard, and the memories of getting together with him and Cam on our vacations and talking dinosaurs and Civil War, and having a lot of plain old laughs.

I am saddened to hear of Ritchie's passing, and wish I could have been at his memorial service. I shared time with him in the 1980's 'Continental' days. He truly was one-of-a-kind. Gods blessings on you my friend. (Oi,oi,oi!)
