John Connors Obituary

John K. Connors, 58, of Easton, passed away on July 7, 2018. He was the son of the late Ann (Seydel) and Leo G. Connors. He was the loving husband of Heidi M. (Damhosl) Connors. John graduated from Bethlehem Catholic High School and went on to receive his bachelor's degree in Information Technology from the University of Richmond. He proudly served his country as a member of the United States Army. After 31 years, John retired from Bank of America and most recently worked for ATR International. He enjoyed fishing, sailing, reading and volunteering at Musikfest. He was a member of Project Management Institute of the Lehigh Valley and was also a Six Sigma Green Belt. As we think of John, we think of mirth in his eyes and smile on his face, his gift for erasing tension with a well-placed joke and the richness of a life lived fully. He will be lovingly remembered by his wife, Heidi M. Connors; daughters, Paige Connors, Rachael Connors and Alexa Connors; brothers, Kevin Connors, Chris Connors, Carl Connors and Matthew Connors; sisters, Deirdre Smist, Maura Hill, Miriam Gormley and Stacey Connors; step children, Rachel Lawson and James Lawson and grandson, Charles MacDonald. John was preceded in death by his brother, Leo G. Connors, Jr. A viewing will be held on Wednesday, July 11, 2018 from 6-8 P.M. at Connell Funeral Home, 245 E. Broad St. Bethlehem, PA 18018. A viewing will also be held on Thursday, July 12, 2018 from 9-10 A.M. at Holy Ghost Church, 417 Carlton Ave. Bethlehem, PA 18015 with a Mass of Christian Burial to follow at 10 A.M. Burial will be held at Holy Saviour Cemetery. Condolences may be offered online at www.connellfuneral.com

My deepest sympathy to my childhood family on Cherry Street. I was shocked and saddened to hear of John's passing. Since learning of John's passing my thoughts go to one of my best friends Leo and of course John and what a wonderful time it was in those days. Rest assured that John will be missed by me.

My condolences to you and your family on behalf of John's family here at Mack Trucks. In the short time that he worked at the plant, he impacted so many here with his calm and humorous nature. We are the lucky ones to have worked with him.

John,
You will forever remain a treasured person to me.
It was such a comfort to learn at our 25th high school reunion that you also were living in the Richmond Virginia area.
Enjoyed all the smiles, laughter and chats over coffee at Starbucks every several months until you returned back to Bethlehem Pennsylvania where you were so looking forward to beginning a new journey in life. It was so wonderful that you got a chance to reconnect with your old friends make new friends and enjoy your life with Heidi.
Love,
Pam Kneule Hood
