I had the honor and privilege to photograph the funeral services Wednesday, for Pennsylvania State Police Corporal Timothy J. O’Connor Jr. who was killed in the line of duty last week in Chester County. The funeral mass was held at St. Joe’s Parish in Downingtown and burial services were held at All Souls Cemetery in West Brandywine with the assistance of DellaVecchia funeral home.

Corporal O’Connor’s wife Casey and daughter Kenzie along with the rest of his family, friends, neighbors, friends in blue and other first responders from across the country all came together to honor him.
