My sincerest condolences to my friend of many years, Kimi O'Connor, her daughter, Marie O'Connor Meyers, her husband, Jim, and Joe's two adored granddaughters, Isabella and Sophia. Kimi lived a few blocks away from my mom, so on Bingo evenings, my mom would pick up Kimi.Years later, Kimi and I would meet at a different Bingo Hall, and it was close to where we both lived. Now, she was driving a Cadillac that her husband bought for her. When we were playing Bingo, Kimi would look at her watch and say," Sheila, watch my stuff because I have to go home and make dinner for Joe. Then I'll be back!" Joe wanted Kimi to have fun, have friends, and be happy. Knowing the family for many years, I knew Joe as a loving husband, father, father-in-law, and grandfather. I knew about his medical problem for a long time, and I'd remind him to make sure he went for his check-up, when we'd meet at the the local pharmacy.In recent years, he'd say, "My wife's problems come first." R.I.P., Joe O'Connor, who retired as Chief Inspector of the Philadelphia Police Department was another victim of the hated CANCER!
