O'Conner Family
Please accept my deepest condolences on Kevin's passing. I was looking up old friends on the internet and found this posting and my heart sank. I have very few childhood memories that don't have PJ and Kevin in them. Playing stick ball, basketball, football and kick the can in the street. I still have a picture someplace of us giving a concert while playing bad mitten rackets guitars in your parents garage. The teams were always PJ & Kenny and Kevin & I. I remember your mother timing me to see how long I could sit still and going to church with the O'Connor's. 10:10 Mass at St. Lukes.
Always Your Friend,
Jeff Kleespie

For some reason I've been thinking about P.J and decided to do a google search and came across the news about Kevin. My thoughts and prayers are with the O'Conner family. Waldwick was many chapters ago in my life and I have found memories of Kevin.... may he Rest In Peace.

Dear O'Connor Family,
We are sad to hear of Kevin's passing. He was a friend and a neighbor on Maple Street when our children were young. I enjoyed playing horseshoes in his back yard and singing Billy Joel tunes in his down stairs man cave. Kevin loved to play golf and we spent many early Sunday mornings at the Darlington Golf course playing the back nine. And who can forget the Pot Bellies softball team that Kevin was a founding member of.
Rest in peace.

My dear O'Connor family. Although not related genetically, I believe there was a destiny our lives so aptly crossed paths. As a young girl until this very day, I feel a loving connection to you all and a depth of loss most profound. Kevin will always hold a place in my heart as a brother, loving and protecting me as a very young girl. I lived across the street and felt within my heart the Dunne's and O'Connors were one. May you find peace in the passing of our lovable Kevin. God Bless. Truly, from a most special place in my heart of heart's I love you all!
