As a little kid, I remember the Conger name in our household. John played football for my Dad, Tom Osborne, at Jackson High School. My Father will be saddened by the news of John’s passing.
Blessings and peace to you all.

I am very sorry to learn about Mr. Conger's passing. Please accept my deepest condolences to the family. He was an assistant football coach many years ago. He encouraged us to work hard and to be good young men. I remember him as one who always encouraged us.
