Edmund O'Connor Obituary

Matt, So sorry to hear about her dad passing. Hope you are doing ok. Trish Gaffney

Dan, Patty, Chris, Matt, Marty,

Please accept my sincere condolences on Eddie's passing. He will be greatly missed. His legacy will live on in the minds and hearts of the thousands of people whose lives he touched. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Matt, Chris, Patty, Danny: Your Dad and I barely had 1 conversation, but he always seemed to know who I was, as part of the extended "O'Connor Company/Associates Family". I'm sure it's become cliche, but I'll say it anyway: 1000's of people owe their careers directly or indirectly to Mr. Ed O'Connor (and brother Billy) - none any more than I.
Best wishes to you all.

Chris and family,
So sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. What an incredible man and legacy hen has left. May you find such pride and peace during this difficult time.

To the O'Connor family, I'm very sorry your loss. I still remember the sign in Ed and Billy's office years ago that read " Behold the turtle,the only time he gets anywhere is when he sticks his neck out". I can think of no other man who lived up to that credo as much as Ed. God bless Edmund J. O'Connor. Rick Novak (Gary,In)

We have no words. We are however left with our memories of both Pat and Ed.
Deepest sympathy to you all.
Gerry and Irv Grace

Matt, Trish and the O'Connor family,
I know how much Ed influenced each and every one of you and how much he was loved by so many people. My heart is with you all!

Please accept my deepest sympathy. Having just lost my dad I know the sadness this brings. But along with that you will hold all of the happy memories of him close to your heart forever. I keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

My fond recollections date back to when the O’Connors were neighbors and friends in Deerfield. At that time I was only a kid but remember the many kindnesses of Ed, Pat, and their wonderful family. Ed was truly a light in a sometimes dark world. We send the family hugs and prayers. Cathy (Fielding) and Mark Oliver

Ed is simply irreplaceable, as a Father, Business Leader , and Role Model. He touched so many in so many positive ways giving a helping hand to so many. He exemplified an era where your word was your bond. Deepest Sympathies, Michael J. Gill

To the O'Connor Family,
On behalf of our family, please accept our sincere condolences on the loss of Eddie. He and Billy changed our world and made many things possible that could have never happened without their vision, leadership, and courage.
May he rest in eternal peace with perpetual light shining upon him. May God continue to bless all of you.

Regards

To The O'Connor Family: I am sure there are hundreds of these stories, but I'd like to tell you mine which dates back to 1973.I decided to take a chance trading on the CBOE, and needed a clearing firm. My friend, whose Father was close to Eddie brought me upstairs to talk with him. I told Eddie, I only had $ 5000 to put in a trading account. He shook my hand, told me to be careful, and I spent the next 33 years on the exchange. They just don't make them like this anymore. Eddie O'Connor was truly a great man, and it was an honor to meet him. My sincere condolences go out to the entire family. My thoughts are with you all. My Deepest Sympathy, Marty

We will miss a great and good man. Ed touched so many lives in a positive way. The greatest generation has lost a cardinal member.

He was a great man. May he rest in peace forever.

A GREAT man and a wonderful family!! Thanks for the opportunities....My sincerest sympathy!

From the
days of early morning golf at Exmoor to getting me into trading he was the best. Out of town but will remember him and miss him

May the God of all comfort give you strength to cope during this time of grief. (2 Cor. 1:3,4)

thanks for all the guidance when it really mattered god by good friend neil

THERE WAS EVERYBODY ELSE IN THE WORLD OF TRADING
THEN THERE WAS THE SIVLER FOX. THE HIGHEST
QUALITY AS A PROFESSIONAL, HIGHEST INTEGRITY AS
A PERSON. HE WAS ALWAYS WHAT EVERYBODY STRIVED
TO BE IN THEIR LIFE.
GOD BLESS, BOB GOLDBERG

Eddie O'Connor was a true legend in the world of Chicago trading. The CBOE would not exist without his, and other visionaries, foresight in 1973. To the O'Connor family, please accept my heartfelt condolences !!

To Ed's family. He was one great guy and we all loved him. We wish to extend our most sincere sympathy.
The family of (Shelly Flake)

Both Eddie and Billy were the backbone of the CBOE.

He truly was a legend. Without the O'Connor brothers, a lot of us would never have experienced the trading world. My sincere sympathy to all.
