To the O'Connor family:
The world is a better place because of what your dad accomplished during his lifetime and it was an honor to have known him. John O'Connor gave me great advice and counsel when I became VP/Manager of Merrill Lynch. I will never forget him. He was a great man and held in the highest regard by the community. Over two-thousand people attended his service. What a tribute. He will be missed.

To The O'Connor Family: May God Bless and Comfort You. JJOC hired me thirty years ago and wished me luck with a pat on the back and words of encouragement (and maybe a suggestion to get a haircut). He was a kind man who I admired and respected greatly.
With my sincere sympathy,
Bill Brennan (808/AY)

Dear O'Connor family,
I am so sorry for the loss of your Dad. He was a wonderful man and my entire family knew and loved him...even my father, years back.
It seems like yesterday the Ross Court gang were growing up and today we are mourning our losses.
Much love and sympathy,

To the O’Connor Family,
My heartfelt sympathies on the loss of you father. I remember your dad from the days on Ross Ct., Shaker, and beyond. And knowing each of you, it was easy to see where each of your amazing qualities came from. The drive for excellence, the caring and respect for people, integrity, the importance of family, and joys of humor, are all things that make your family very special. Each of you reflect your mom and your dad in these ways and because of this, the essence of who they are will live forever. My prayers are with your father as he joins your mom and with your entire family as you grieve your loss.

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this sad time.
I met your Dad in the early 80's when I was job searching in downtown Albany. He spent about an hour with me in his office brainstorming and offering plenty of wise and helpful suggestions. Kind, thoughtful and proud of his wonderful family - I remember him well. You are blessed to have had such a great Dad - he will always be with you.

We are remembering Mr. John O'Connor with much sadness at his passing, and have been reflecting on the years at National Savings Bank with this terrific boss who mentored us with honesty and a sharp wit. Under his tutelage we grew and learned much about banking and the business world. The greatest lessons and advice he gave were the most important -- issues that mattered most -- those on life and relationships. And let's not forget his admonitions on watching out for the "turkeys" along the way. Our condolences to the entire O'Connor family of whom he so fondly and frequently spoke.

Dear O'Connor Family,
I was deeply saddened to learn of your Dad's passing. He was without question one of the truly great men I have ever had the honor to know. I consider your family to be the singular best I've come across, and your Dad as patriarch was so very instrumental in that terrific accomplishment. He was an outstanding man in so many ways. I will always be thankful for his help and advice.
May he now rest in peace with your Mom and Bill.

Hi Guys.
My most sincere condolences. To say that your Dad was a special superstar of a man would be a complete understatement. One glance of the synopsis of his many accomplishments in the paper this morning completely overwhelms me, and probably doesn’t even scratch the surface of his legacy. To me, your Dad was such a hero. From the times of our youth, when he kept us all in line, through the advice & guidance he was so willing to share in our adulthood, to his kind & gentle manner, quick wit and his good natured comments whenever he saw us, he was the kind of man one just couldn’t help but look up to. May God bless him with the sweet company of your Mom, and may God bless the entire O’Connor family in the loss of your Dad and Grandfather. He will be missed so very much.

We are very sorry for your loss. We had only met John once but he made us feel like we had known him forever - very few people are lucky enough to have that gift. We will keep you and your family in our prayers.

To My Former Den Mother's Family,Pat,Mike,Terry,Tim,Jim,& Beth. My sincerest condolences to a family I considered as my own. You don't need me to tell you how great a swath your father carved.

Mr. O'Connor - actually, never called you by any other name...
I, nor my family, will ever forget all that you have done for us over the years.
You were a "coach" who always protected his players - always put their interests first - always treated each of your "players" as individuals.
You were ruthlessly honest - a man to admire and a man to emulate.
However, I think your greatest asset was the ability to recogize the individual strengths, weaknesses, and limitations of each of your "players" - and, found a way to get the very best out of us all.
God bless you - and, thank you, Mr. O'Connor.
