Christopher Connor

Christopher Connor, 79, passed away peacefully on February 25, 2025, surrounded by his loving family. A dedicated dentist, he began his career serving in the Navy before opening his own solo practice, where he took immense pride in his work, his staff, and the patients he cared for over the years.

Chris had a remarkable sense of humor-never taking himself or anyone too seriously. He was always ready with a one-liner or a witty retort, bringing laughter to those around him. His warmth and affable nature made him a joy to be around, and he embraced life with enthusiasm and love for adventure.

An avid outdoorsman, Chris found happiness in skiing, waterskiing, sailing, biking, hiking, and long walks on the beach. Some of his most cherished moments were spent snow skiing with family and friends, sharing his love for the mountains and the thrill of the slopes. He was generous in both spirit and action, frequently donating to food banks and helping those in need with a quiet kindness. Open and engaging, he never met a stranger-he spoke to everyone with a genuine warmth that made them feel valued.

Above all, Chris loved his family deeply. He is survived by his devoted wife, Barbara Donnelly; his children, Caitlin Connor Neville (Geoffrey), MacKenna Connor, Kiersten Connor Hoey (David), Megan Connor (David Grossman); his son Colin Connor (Jenna); and his beloved nephew, David Connor (Diana). He was also a proud grandfather to seven children.
