Our sympathy to the O'Connor Family & Judy. My husband worked with Hugh more than 40 years ago & after Hugh transferred they lost track of each other. He made contact through our E-mail which he had found through the F.O.P. I was delighted as George had such nice things to say about Hugh. He would E-mail us pictures of his family & pets. After all the E-mails, instant message chats and phone conversations, I felt like I knew him my whole life. Before I met this man in person, I liked him very much. I could tell he was a loving, considerate, honest and kind person. When we met, I was right and I thank God, I was able to meet him and that my husband and he reunited. We were able to spend some time together just enjoying his company. We feel for your loss and know that all of you will be remembered in our prayers. God bless each of you and always keep you safe.

Dear Doug and Cindy,

We are very sorry for your loss. Hugh was such a nice man and we enjoyed visiting with him at family parties. Despite his many ailments, he maintained a positive attitude and displayed a loving spirit. His absence will obviously leave a big hole in your hearts. God is the healer of wounded hearts, and we will pray for His comfort during your times of sorrow.

Sincerely,

I extend my sympathy to the O'Connor family. I worked with Hugh years ago in the 20th District. I knew him for many years. He was a very nice man.

Dear Debbie,

I do not know if you remember me or not, but we were very good friends back in High School. As soon as I saw your father's name, I knew it was him without reading any further. I will never forget your Dad. For the few years we hung together, he treated me like a daughter. Any how, I am so sorry to hear about your Dad as well as I read that your Mom has passed, too. If you recall, I called her my 2nd Mom.

God Bless you and your brothers (whom I remember) now and always and always hold the memories of your Parents very close to your heart.
