Edward O'Connor Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Ed was born on May 3, 1954 in Chicago, Illinois to his loving parents Charles and Lenore O'Connor. He was the third of six children and grew up in the St. Gertrude Parish in Edgewater Glen. As a child, he enjoyed sports and played lots of pranks. You could always count on him getting into some kind of trouble.
As he grew into adulthood, he met Karen, the love of his life, of whom he would share the the next 41 years with. He was a retired Engineer for the Chicago Fire Department. He was a talented musician all his life and shared his gift with all who knew him. He was the most amazing father and grandfather and he will be dearly missed forever.
Visitation will be held on Monday from 3:00 p.m.-8:00 p.m. at Cooney Funeral Home located at 625 Busse Hwy. in Park Ridge. Funeral Tuesday, family and friends are asked to meet at St. Gertrude Catholic Church, 1420 W. Granville Ave. in Chicago for Mass at 10:30 a.m. Interment private. For information please call 847-685-1002 or visit www.cooneyfuneralhome.com

My condolences to the O'Connor family. I grew up with Ed. Last time I saw him was on the firetruck downtown. I remember some of those pranks.
