SPECIAL DEDICATION IN MEMORY OF
Richard Barry O'Connor II
1957 - 2022
"You don't have to wear a uniform to serve your country."
~ Richard O'Connor II
Colonels in the US armed forces are often referred to as “full birds” for the silver eagle insignia they receive upon ascending to the rank. It is with profound sorrow, we announce the loss of our family’s full bird as he earns his second set of wings. Instead of remaining our personal hero, Richard has been called to bring his spirit of duty, kindness, and love to a new mission as a guardian angel in Heaven.
