Connor, Timothy (1/30/2026)

Tim died on the morning of January 30th, 2026, after living with both frontotemporal
dementia and cancer for many years. He was surrounded and supported by the love of
family and friends until the end. Tim is predeceased by his parents, Lou and Ted Connor
and dear younger brother, Teddy Connor. Tim leaves behind his wife Lucy Winner; his
daughter, Kyla Winner-Connor and her husband Stephen Shortall; brothers and sisters,
Anne Senni, Mary Connor, Pat Rogers and husband Jim Rogers, Tony Connor and wife Paula
Gannon, as well as his nieces and nephews, Teo Senni, Justin Senni, Caity Senni, Davey
Connor, Paulie Connor, Jimmy Rogers, and Dennis Rogers, and many many more friends.
Tim will be remembered for his sense of adventure, his love of music and art, his self-
deprecating humor and immense charm, and his wonder for life. Tim was an extraordinary
writer and lover of literature, leaving two wonderful unpublished novels and many more
short stories. He earned a BA in English from Dartmouth College in 1969 and an MA in
photojournalism from the University of Minnesota in 1976. Tim worked for many years as a
writer, editor and photographer with the Environmental Defense Fund in New York City until
his retirement in 2017. His short stories, journalism, criticism and photojournalism have
appeared in numerous publications including The San Francisco Chronicle, The Village
Voice, American Photographer and Science Magazine. His photographs have been in
exhibitions in New York, California, Switzerland and Germany. He was particularly proud to
have a collection of his photographs displayed throughout Atlantic Terminal, framed within
life-sized lightboxes as part of the Arts for Transit exhibit between 2008 and 2009. As
language and memory became more difficult, Tim took up painting, and created an
enormous body of work included in three exhibitions in his last years. Tim continued to live and make art in Brooklyn, painting every day, until days before he died.
