O'CONNELL,
John F.X., P.Eng.
"I am full of wonder at what is coming next… it's gonna be powerful"
Peacefully on Monday, July 9, 2007 at Credit Valley Hospital,
following a long illness borne with integrity, humility and courage.
Predeceased by his beloved Ange (née Angela
McGOWAN) in 2000.
Forever missed by his children Tish (Letitia

His grandchildren
John, Clare and Daniel Barker and Michael Mayfield will always
be inspired by their beloved Gramps. Also missed by sisters Pat
BARLETTA and Joan
MULROONEY, sister-in-law Joan
O'CONNELL and
many nieces and nephews. Predeceased by sister Jean and brothers
Jim and Bill. Born in Brooklyn, New York in 1930, John was recruited
out of his graduating class at Brooklyn Polytechnical Institute
to come to Toronto to help build its new subway. Throughout a
long career in design and construction he was a leader on many
projects that shaped Southwestern Ontario. He was fiercely proud
of his Irish heritage and citizenship, and lived by the motto,
"American by birth, Irish by the grace of God."Possessed of an
inquiring and discerning mind, his quiet, perspicacious and slyly
mischievous nature endeared him to many. He was a man of deep
faith, selflessly devoted to his family, a wise father who taught
by quiet example and a model of integrity to his children and
grandchildren. He will never be forgotten. The family will receive
Friends from 6-9 p.m. on Wednesday, July 11 at the Ward Funeral
Home, 52 Main Street South, (Highway 10), Brampton. Mass of Christian
Burial at Saint Mary's Roman Catholic Church, 66A Main Street South,
