The famous City performer died last night after a two-month stay in hospital.
Brenda Bridges of the Grove Lounge tells CHSJ News it's a
sad day at the bar.
She tell us she met him years ago when he owned Gene's Country palace on Union street adding he was a great guy who went out of his way for people.
O'Connor was 72 years old. Comments on Facebook today describes him as spiritual and a character who will be missed.
Bridge says around the bar they will miss his famous cowboy hat and how he was always yodelling.
