He was the husband of Diann M. (Mantz) Connor. The couple was renowned for their master gardening, especially of roses. They maintained the rose garden entry to the Historical Society for many years. It was named in their honor upon his retirement as president of the council board of trustees, a position held for 32 years. The present-day auditorium at the Society is also named in his honor.
