Funeral arrangements are pending for former Franklin County Common Pleas Court and Appeals Court Judge John Connor, who died Wednesday at the age of 78. 

A official cause of death has not been released, but he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer a month ago. Connor was first elected in 1992 and retired five years ago. His late former wife Annie Hall was a Columbus School Board member and bank lobbyist.

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
