John Francis Connelly, Jr.

As the 'boss-man' at Tri-County it was my privilege to know and work with John for many years. John always had an easy way about himself and was always first to say hello and ask how you were doing. He was somewhat famous around here for his ‘alrightly then,’ which was always drawn out in a low baritone. We shared life with this gentle, beautiful man and our lives are better because of his. We loved John immensely and will miss his presence more than I could express.

I worked with John and we became friends. He was a "ray of sunshine" that I was blessed to see at the end of each work day. We shared stories and talked about movies he liked and such. I was very saddened to hear of his passing. I will miss you Big John. Big Hugs.

I worked with John at Tri-County and he was always such a bright light at our facility. He was always so kind and helpful and will be truly missed.
