William Christopher "Chris" O'Connor

Chris was born in Sarasota, Florida on December 31, 1957. Chris moved with his family to Augusta, Maine, and New Orleans before finally settling in Tucson in 1976.

He worked for over 20 years as a meat purveyor and grocery store assistant manager for Albertson’s, where he mentored many colleagues helping further their careers, and making lifelong friends.

Chris is preceded in death by his parents John O’Connor, Anita O’Connor, and his brother Richard O’Connor.

He is survived by his sister Peggy O’Connor Torregrossa (Mike), brother John O’Connor Jr., nieces and nephews Kaylene and Paul Torregrossa, John, Christopher and Elliot O’Connor, and many cousins and relatives. A special thank you to family friend Cynthia “Cindy” Bower for the love and care she shared with Chris and our whole family.

Chris leaves behind many friends and family members whom he loved very much. When you think of him, think of him playing golf, something that brought him great happiness.

A Memorial Service will be held at 11am, on Saturday, June 5, at St. Francis de Sales Church, 1375 S. Camino Seco, Tucson.
