WILLIAM O'CONNOR Obituary

O'CONNOR--William B.

Bill O'Connor was our long-time colleague, mentor, and valued friend. His rapier sharp wit, his humor, and his ability as a raconteur will be greatly missed as will his sense of loyalty, abiding fairness, humanity, integrity and wisdom. Our sincere condolences to his wife and our friend Suzy, to his children Denis, Katy and Cindy, to Tricia and to his many grandchildren all of whom he treasured. John Hoffee & Larry Condon

Sending love and deepest condolences to all the family and friends from the Delano Family. Bill was such a wonderful guy and we have great memories of our times with him over so many years. We know he will be sorely missed here on earth but his love for all of you will last forever. As our dear departed mother, Georgia would say, "Love forever".
