Very sad. I would see him occasionally (I live in squirrel Hill). I had high hopes for him. May his family find peace in knowing many are thinking and praying for them now.

May he rest in peace. He was a great advocate for the Burgh.

I thought he would have been a good mayor for a 'D'. It's too bad he was in office such a short length of time.

This is just so sad. Mr. O'Connor was so enthusiastic about the city. The Super Bowl parade...he looked so happy and healthy. His persona was 'isn't this a great day for Pittsburgh' not 'will the voters remember me at the polls?' His love for the city and his job was so obvious. He would have done a great deal more.

Rest in peace Mr. Mayor.

He seemed on the right track. The last time I saw him was at a Steelers game. He was the most approachable guy ever headed for office. His son is a well liked priest in our area.

Pity.

Hope this 26 year old taking his place is ready for the mud that he is about to be caked with. They play pretty rough in the City.

Rest in peace, Mr. Mayor.

And prayers for his family.

I liked Mayor O'Connor. Sad to see this happen.

My prayers go out for Mayor O'Connor and his family, and the burgh. He was a quite a guy, such a visible and positive presence! He seemed to really love Pittsburgh, the people, his job. His jubilation when Pittsburgh won the Super Bowl was contagious. I love the effect he had on the 'burgh. He will surely be missed.

I wish this thread coud be posted to DU to show how conservatives really do have compassion. This is such a sad happening for Pittsburgh. While Hiz Honor O'Connor and the conservative movement in W PA obviously had differences, we ALL wished him the best.

God rest his soul. Thank him for his service to the city and the country. Prayers for him and his family.

Prayers also for the young lion who will try to fill his shoes.

I've been looking for a record of Mayor O'Connor's military service. He had to have been in the service to have his coffin draped with an American flag.
