Dear Cousins,
My heart goes out to all of you. He was the best Uncle anyone
could have. His laugh will be remembered. Such a good man no
prayers are needed, but I will pray for the family. He will be
missed.
Love to all
Susie
Dear Carol & Art, & Family,
Greetings from Bowling Green, KY!
How wonderful that you gathered last month to celebrate 100
years of LIFE which Chet enjoyed!
That's an amazing accomplishment, but more amazing is how he
lived those 100 years--- selfless, loving, caring about others,
reaching. It was an honor to meet & spend a little time with
him when Carol & I were in Lancaster with 30 teens for a
Catholic Heart Work Camp.
May this gathering of Family & the celebration of Chet's life be
uplifting, inspiring, & joyful!
Peace to you from me & your faith family at Holy Spirit!
Love, Fr Jerry
PS Art really knows how to build churches!!
To Carol, Art, and the family,
You must be so grateful that you recently celebrated you dad's
100th birthday. What a wonderful tribute to a life well lived.
He would be so proud of all of you.
I am sorry for your loss at this time but I know that you all
take comfort in knowing that his was a full and wonderful life.
100 years is truly a blessing. The family is so lucky to have
had a father and grandfather for such a long time. How many fond
memories we all have of one event or time in our lives that was
spent with him.
My prayers and thoughts are with all of you today and I will see
you Saturday to give hugs!

Dear Judy, Nita, Chrissy & Carol,
My heart goes out to you & your families. Uncle Chet was the
best role model we could ever ask for. His kindness was
limitless, something we all could aspire to be. I will hold my
memories of his gentleness, that beautiful smile & laughter and
the love of my Aunt Rosie & his girls forever. I pray that you
will have peace with his passing, knowing in faith that it's
truly his beginning.

I have not see him in years but as a kid he
always impressed me. He was always a very happy man. I remember
having picnic's at their house. Mom always loved him and had
great respect for him. My prayers are with the family.

Please accept our deepest sympathy on the
passing of Uncle Chet. We always enjoyed getting together with
Uncle Chet and Aunt Rosie. They will be missed. We will always
remember their love for each other and their laughter.

I was so sorry to hear of Chet passing. I was
once very active at St. John's Episcopal Church which is where I
got to know Mr. Connor.
He was a real gem, the kind of man the broke the mold after!!
I felt blessed to know him and I'm sure you all felt blessed to
have such a man to love all of you.
I sincerely hope that your journey without Chet is blessed with
his memory.
