So very sorry to hear of Ivan's passing. Wish we weren't so far away. I have many, many great memories of Ivan throughout my life at home and while visiting on leave from the Air Force. An outstanding brother-in-law and he'll be greatly missed. RIP old chum.

A true gentleman.. although we only just met Ivan at St Joe’s, he made Gary’s stay more pleasant, and we enjoyed our visits even more because of him. Love Joanne and Mike

We are all so sorry to hear about Ivan. My Dad grew very fond of his roommate at St. Joe's, and enjoyed his company and still speaks of him often now that he's moved to the Villa. He sends to deepest condolences to you all. May all your happy memories of Ivan give you peace during this difficult time. God Bless! Gary Maguire & Girls

Ivan will be truly missed by both Christopher and me. Christopher was so proud and so fortunate to call Ivan his grandfather (Papa). He always had treated us and everyone around him with respect, kindness and understanding. Jay, Paul, Debbie and Patty so very sorry for your loss. Betty and Christopher.

"Hey farmer, bring that NB hay wagon up here" I served under Lt O'Connor on Engine 8 . He was a great officer and incredible story teller. I was injured in 2001 and Ivan visited me in the hospital every 2nd day during my stay. I will never forget his kindness. He will be missed. Roy Byers Saint John Fire Dept.

As long term neighbours, we will miss Ivan very much. We will miss his sense of humour, his kindness and that mischievous glint in his eyes and, of course, his stories. Our condolences go Patty and Paul, Jay and Debbie. Karen and Andy McPherson

My condolences to the family of Ivan O’Connor. I had the pleasure of working with Ivan for many years. He would spend hours with you on the apparatus floor teaching you the skills needed to operate a pumper and ladder truck along with many stories relating to his career and life. It was a honour to work with such a passionate and caring officer. Rest In Peace brother.

I met Ivan several years ago , he was a customer at my place of employment. He was a lovely and insightful man, who told a great story ! He quickly became my favourite customer ! I grew up in Fundy Heights and learned Ivan and Ester were good friends with my late Aunt & Uncle. Ivan's love for Ester and his family was very obvious as he spoke proudly of his loved ones . my condolences to you all. Rest Easy Ivan

One of the most pleasant, fun individuals I ever worked with. A gifted story-teller, Ivan could take a simple situation,add some sound effects and turn it into a hilarious story. He was my officer when I drove Ladder 5. I valued his friendship and admired his character. Rest easy my friend
