Mike Connors Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on May 28, 2025.
Mike passed away on May 24, 2025 at Hackensack University Medical Center with his fiancé by his side, after a long battle with cancer.

He fought hard and retained his sense of humor and concern for those around him until the very end.

Mike is survived by the love of his life, Laura "Lolo" Buonocore, his daughter Mary-Kate Meadows, her husband, Rob, his granddaughter Zoe, pseudo stepson Doug "DJ" Sklarski, siblings Kathy Fuchs, Ken and Tim Connors, pseudo sister in law TC Lehmann and her family, along with countless other family and friends.

A celebration of life will be held on Saturday, June 14, 2025 at the Hasbrouck Heights Elks Lodge from 6 to 10 PM. In honor of Mike, wear your most comfortable clothes (Marvel, Beatles, or Halloween shirts encouraged, but not necessary). There will be light refreshments and a cash bar available.

Mike, you taught me how to work hard, take a joke, and not take life too seriously. I wish we stayed closer through the years, but I always looked forward to your witty life posts, and seeing the silly banter and love between you and Laura on Facebook. I´ll miss you.

I wish I had known Mike longer than just a few short years. It was easy to see how much he loved Lolo. He fought so hard with his battle over the last couple years- and he did it with jokes, smiles and a positive outlook.

I didn't know Mike well, but on some very bad days I would see his posts and have a little smile or chuckle. Above all, I know he adored Laura and his daughter. I know he'll be deeply missed...but I also know when times are hard, they can look back and have a little smile or a little chuckle. Sending hugs and love to everyone who loves him.

"Sounds of laughter, shades of life are ringing through my open ears inciting and inviting me. Limitless, undying love which shines around me like a million suns it calls me on and on across the universe."
- Across the Universe, The Beatles

Rest in eternal peace Mike.

Mike I´ve known you since you were about 8 yrs old. Although me living on the west coast I hadn´t seen you in probably 30yrs and it was your original diagnosis that reconnected us, I´m glad we reconnected and had some good conversations. Forever family. Rest in peace. Say hi to mom and dad for me.

You´ll always ride shotgun with me. I´m glad we were able to share many conversations and I could be your medical uber. Love your big sister

I can´t believe you´re gone. You fought so hard. I´m so glad that Lolo and I became so close, which in turn made us become close. I will always remember your kindness, dark sense of humor, work ethic, love for your family and friends, your amazing cooking and baking, the joy in your eyes when you made a new delicious dish or received a new kitchen gadget, decorating for Weenie, and most of all, your unending, limitless, steadfast adoration for the love of your life-your Lolo. Until the very end, your face lit up each and every time you saw her.

Please know that your Lolo is strong and she will be fine. She has a bunch of people in her circle who will make sure she is.

Miss ya, Cuz!

Mike,
Thank you again for loving and taking care of Laura & DJ, for being a Great Husband & Father to those who deserved & needed one with such a wonderful heart as yours...

You were there for them whenever they needed & gave to them your never ending love & kindness..

Thanks for helping me as well & accepting me into your life & home - even though I wasn't deserving of it.

You will be forever missed by those of us privileged to be part of your life! The memories we have of our time with you will forever be etched in our minds and our hearts...

Thank You Mike..... for Everything.

Hi Baby.. I am missing you so bad. I miss laughing with you. I miss coffee talk. I miss making you laugh. I am so glad that I got to take care of you even tho I did not even scratch the surface of what you did for me over the years. I don't know how to do this without you.. But I promised I would and you know I will keep my promise. Thank you for loving me like you do. And I love you just as much. Maybe even more. Home again home again..... Jiggity jig

Mike I miss you so much already. I know you are at peace now, and most likely mad that we are sad! (insert some wise guy joke youd make here) I love how you loved Lolo, How she loved you. How you took care of her, and how she took care of you. I love all the talks and jokes we shared. You actually got me to watch cooking shows!!!! Id send you a HUG but that would just get you mad...lol...I will say (and to bad) I Love You Mike...................Nite Mike!!
