EDWARD O'CONNELL Obituary
EDWARD A., on July 25, 2010, after a brief illness, age 71. Mr. O'Connell was born and raised in SW Phila. He spent many years in Oaklyn and currently resides in Salem NJ.

Mrs. O'Connell, Terry and Colleen,
I am so sorry to hear of Mr. O'Connell's passing. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you during this difficult time. I'll always remember having a beer with Mr. O siting in the back yard swing after a day of tinkering around the yard. Take care,

Your family and Friends
July 27, 2010
Today we say a sad “good-bye”
to our Husband, Father, Friend …
stern, yet deeply loyal,
and strong right through the end.
Convicted in your opinions,
never wavering in your beliefs.
And although you wouldn’t want it to
your loss fills our hearts with grief.
“A working man who fixes things”
your epitaph shall be.
But we all know your softer side
though you chose to show it so rarely.
So with your Chesterfield beside you
and your lit pipe in your hand,
is how we plan to remember you, Ed ~
a good Husband, Father, Man.

We send our love to you at this sad time...I cannot believe that strong man is gone from your lives. He will never be forgotten; and his quiet spirit and strength carries on in his beloved family - his girls. Love, Shelly & John Brown
