Dear Eileen, I am sorry to hear of John’s passing. His gift of music (and yours) was a true blessing to our congregation. Wishing you comfort, peace and strength in the days ahead. Kathy Blastorah

I too remember John and Eileen and the two boys they had at that time. Many times I babysat the boys while John and Eileen attended church or a wee break from the kids. John was a kind soft spoken man who always had a wave and “ hello” to those walking Burnham St. My condolences to you Eileen and all your family.

I was first met John as a very young boy at his father's farm in Grafton. He was a great friend to my father for eighty years and a kind and steady presence in my life. John was a well rounded man, equally comfortable working the land, chatting with neighbours and friends, and singing in church. One of my favourite musical memories was performing for John and Eileen (and my parents, Joe and Marcella Lawless), with their son, Séan, playing sax, clarinet and penny whistle.

Sending our thoughts & prayers to Eileen, families & friends on sad news of John's passing. John was a kind & gentle man. Always up for a interesting conversation. A true family man. RIP John. Jay, Chris & Megan.

Dear Sean, Nathalie and extended Family, Sending you our sincerest sympathy for your loss. May you find comfort in the memories of cherished times spent with your father, as you pass through this difficult time of grief. You are in our thoughts.

So sorry to hear about John what a gentleman we would have a good chat together at dominion store Cobourg in the 70s and always looked north to his farm going by on # 9. Rest in peace John

Dear Eileen: Please accept my sincerest sympathy and caring thoughts in John's passing. He was a true gentleman. May he rest in peace.

I remember Mr. and Mrs. O'Connor from the late 1950's, early 60's on Burnham St. South. They lived just a few doors down the street with 2 small boys. They always gave a feeling of quiet acceptance and friendship to the marauding gaggle of kids wandering the street in "those days". I recognized his picture and their names from over 60 years ago, they left that deep of an impression on a kid under 10 years of age. Thank you both.

My core childhood memories revolve around sacred heart and the O’Connor family. I will never forget your gifts of music John and Eileen. Rest easy.

I first heard John's tenor voice in 1965 at the Sacred Heart Church in the village of Harwood. I can remember him saying: "Will you join us in singing Holy, Holy God Almighty.." I got to know both of you over the years since then. The last I saw John was on his 80th birthday at a Mass in St. Michael Church. While John's singing voice is quiet on earth, it is certainly echoing in Heaven.

Eileen - so sorry to hear of John’s passing. His voice is still, but Heaven hears it! My condolences to the whole family, and prayers for your peace.

Dan, so very sorry to hear of your father’s passing. You shared many wonderful stories about your dad over the years. My heartfelt condolences to you, Wendy and Dana at this time.

The O Conner family, so sorry to hear of John’s passing. He was a passionate, caring man. Always a pleasure to be around. I remember his presence at Eldorado when he was a Safety Officer, he cared about everyone

Katherine and family, loosing a parent is hard and from our discussions your dad sounded like a very special man who co-raised a wonderful family. He will be remembered with love and music in your hearts. Take Care! Dawn

Stephen and O’Connor family. So sorry for your loss.Our sincere condolences. Delkie and Linda.

Dear Elaine and Family I'm so sorry for your loss. My favourite memory of the O'Connor family is from church in Harwood, many years ago: Elaine playing the organ, Katherine on flute and Joanne with a huge 12 string guitar, accompanying John's strong and beautiful voice while the sons supported from the pews. It was an inspirational and peaceful presentation. Peace be with you all.

So very sorry for your loss. My sincere condolences. Healing prayers to help you through this so very difficult time.

Eileen and family, we were very fortunate to have John sing at our wedding in the little Catholic Church in Harwood. His kind heart was reflected in his beautiful voice.

Dear Eileen Our thoughts & prayers are with you & your family. Love Carol & Pat

Our sincerest condolences to the O'Connor family. Dan and Wendy are especially in our thoughts at this time

Sending love and prayers to Eileen and all of the O'Connor Family, John was a lifelong friend of our family. He was always kind, sincere and encouraging with such a calm presence. My parents always admired his deep faith, love of family and appreciation of music but most of all, his unquestionable love for Eileen. This was so clear in all our interactions with them over the years. And Eileen, was similarily dedicated to him which provided inspiration to those blessed enough to know them both. Our heart goes out to you Eileen and to all of your childen and their families. Love Marybeth, Rob and the Barrett family
