I am a distant relative of Bud O'Connor. While I never met him, I had the opportunity to meet two of his sisters, Noreen & Sis. They helped me with the family history that began in the Breaffy area of County Mayo in Ireland. My wife and I express our condolences to all members of the O'Connor family. We hope your memory of Bud will serve you as a source of inspiration and comfort as you grieve his loss. Bob & Cyrilla Finnegan.

Dear O'Connor's,
I am sorry to hear of your loss. I only met your dad a few times over the years, but feel like I got to know him a little better by spending quality time (in his recliner) with his wonderful daughters at the lake house in "Delavan". My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
Sincerely,
Nancy Jarett

Condolences from Donna & I. I sure do have good memories of Bud and will cherish them especially knowing that both our fathers had the same nickname. They are together in heaven watching over us.
