May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. I have wonderful memories of him and Lorrie visiting the farm. He loved to come at harvest. They also picked me up at OHare when I flew for for first time ever from Kansas City to Chicago my senior year of high school so I could compete in the high school field hockey state tournament. Another fun fact, for my something borrowed for my wedding, I borrowed Lorrie’s wedding veil. They were very special and giving people. Love to you all.

Jerry was a wonderful man and a great client.
He was a true gentleman. He never said a harsh word about anyone.

Jerome was one of my dad’s (Frederick O’Connor) favorite cousins. He and Lorry, and others from his family, would come down to our farm in the summer for a visit. Jerome would take many pictures. Then when my family went to Chicago to visit, out came the slide projector and the picture show would begin. It was always special to spend time with him. I was fortunate to have Jerome as my godfather. A role for which I will always remember him. Rest In Peace dear Jerome.
