To Okie's family... We would visit Okie and Christine in the church store at St Katharine Drexel every Sunday. We unfortunately lost touch when we couldn't bear going to church every week after we lost my mother in law. Every time I saw Okie, he was a ray of sunshine. He would joke with my son, and we would chat about family and funny stories they had about when their children were younger. Even though we didn't know him well, he will be missed. I recently started going back to church each week, and I had been wondering where they were... Perhaps they went to a different mass? I was working up the courage to ask the Father if they still attended but just saw this notice. I will pray for him and for all of his family. Please give Christine my condolences and let her know that little Matthew from church misses them both.

Dear Janet and Adam and the rest of the O'Connor family. I am deeply saddened to hear of the loss of your beloved "Okie". I had met him a few times and he was always such a congenial and jovial man and my brother Bill had a very sentimental relationship with him and he states that he will greatly miss Walter/Okie and that he was a great man. May all of you find comfort in your fond memories of him in order to help you all get through this very difficult time of grieving and loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Fondly, Lynne Thorburn

Dear Val and Pat, Our sympathies to you and your family. May he rest in peace. Todd and Eva

Farewell my dear friend. I will miss you up here in New Hampshire, but I know you are in a better place. Until we meet again when I'm called to the other side, take care.

Dear Val, Pat, David and Megan, Thinking of you at this time !! Sorry for your loss !! Peace, Bob

I'm so sorry to hear about Okie, so sorry for your loss. He is at peace and not suffering now. Sending love and prayers.

Thank you Dad for being such a great father-in-law and Grandpa to David and Meg. Always quick with a joke or story. I will miss our conversations and time together. You will be missed and never forgotten. We love you.

Dear Christine and entire family : With great sorrow we received the news of OKIE's death. We join all in expressing our deepest sympathy and will be in spirit praying to God for the repose of OKIE's soul. Without OKIE we will have a great void in our lives. Ann and Manny Segura Sharon and Charles Segura Suzanne and Anthony Taylor.

To my Pops, You will always hold a special play in my heart. I am so lucky to have had you in my life. Love to you always,
