Tim enjoyed watching sports, gardening, cooking, and above all, spending time with family and friends. He was known for his kindness, generosity, and willingness to help others. He was a good neighbor and friend to all. Tim was unwaveringly proud of his girls; he attended every dance recital, school event, and track meet. He was their biggest supporter. Tim loved his wife, Rhea, and they were happily married for 25 years. He and Rhea were active members of their parish, St. Joseph’s Roman Catholic Church, and attended weekly Mass. He is preceded in death by his mother, Patricia. Tim is survived by his wife, Rhea N. O’Connor; his children, Cameron P. and Mackenzie T. O’Connor; his father, Joseph P.
