Francis J. Connors, age 79, of Ansonia, known as Frannie to some and Red to others, the beloved husband of the late Bernadine Januska Connors entered into eternal rest peacefully at his home on Thursday, September 24, 2020. He was born in Derby, on February 25, 1941, son of the late Franklyn and Katherine Bergin Connors.
Red was a retired Machinist for Teledyne in Ansonia where he had worked until his retirement.
