Tim’s Memorial Mass Announcement - October 29, 2022 at 12 Noon at St. Peter's Church
It is with profound sadness and a heavy heart that I share with you news of the passing of my brother, Timothy O’Connell, on Tuesday, October 4, 2022. Tim was 64 years old, less than a month from his 65th birthday. He had been seriously ill for the last couple of years and passed while in intensive care in Upstate Community General, Syracuse, NY.
Tim was well known in the Mohawk Valley, having grown up in Rome and attended RFA. He was a respected employee at Pacemaker Steel & Piping Co. in Utica, NY. As some of you may know he was a championship golfer. He sponsored, on behalf of Pacemaker, many annual golf tournaments with contributions to the local Boys and Girls Club.
He brought life and fun to many parties and events, both within our families as well as those in town. He had wit and charm and always a good story to tell (mostly about sports – Jets or Yankees). He was personable and knew everyone by name. Most of all Tim was the loving son of our parents, Ralph (Roc) and Irmgard O’Connell and a special brother to both Scott O’Connell and me. I loved my brother dearly and will miss him even more.
Along with Scott and our extended family, we will be sponsoring and attending a Memorial Mass for Tim at St. Peter’s Church in Rome, NY on Saturday, October 29, 2022 at 12 Noon. We invite all who knew Tim to attend and pray for his soul.
