I met Bob on a plane trip. I knew him for about three hours but his amazing spirit touched me very deeply. We talked the entire trip! I have never enjoyed a plane ride like that before! He was very happy to be going to visit his son in college and also touched me with how warmly he spoke about his "high school sweetheart". I am old enough to have been his mother but we spoke in an ageless way. I was impressed with his spiritual path/reading to try to find some answers and solve some of these unimaginable mysteries in life; the whys that we just can't seem to answer. I had hoped so much to see you all walk into the Port in Harwichport so I could meet the family that meant so much to him. I still hope to meet you all some day, here in Harwichport. Feel free to call (508-432-2448) and I will meet you there and be your hostess! I did call once and left that number in the hopes of making contact with Bob and his family. I wanted him to know I was thinking of him but I didn't want to be intrusive. Anyway, I just now found this information on the internet and am so sorry! You all were blessed to have had such a wonderful man in your lives! My heart goes out to you!
Fondly, Marna Bate

Dear Sindi and Conroy family
How sorry I am to hear of Bobby's passing.
I knew Bobby in the '70's when a group of us "hung out" in Faneuil Square. Bobby was a great kid then and from all I've read, he grew to be a great man.
My deepest sympathies

Dear Conroy Family,
I was very saddened to learn of Bobby's passing. It was my pleasure to have worked with him from Alex. Brown's position trading desk in Baltimore for most of the 1990's. Bobby's enthusiasm and wit was something all of the traders could count on regardless of the situation in the marketplace. I know he will be missed by many. Please take comfort in knowing he is now in our Lord's care for eternity. God Bless you, Bobby !
Your Friend,

Please know that I am thinking of you and your family at this most difficult time.
My deepest sympathy,

I was terribly sorry to hear of Bobby's passing. During the entire time that I cared for him I was impressed with his dignity, grace, equanimity and perseverance. I can only hope that your fond memories of the time that you, Bobby and the boys had together will help soften the anguish of his loss and untimely death. My thoughts and prayers are with him and your family always.
Warmest regards,

To the Conroy family,
We were hearbroken to hear about Bobby's passing. Bobby was our son Andy's coach in the St. Joseph basketball league when he was in 8th grade, along with Matt. We will never forget how kind Bobby was to Andy and went out of his way to always encourage him to do his best on the court. When Andy was accepted at BC High, we will always remember how Bobby's face lit up when Andy told him, and how he came over to congratulate us. It is unselfish men like Bobby who will always give hope and encouragement to others through example and sincerity. I only knew Bobby through that one short winter season but he showed me he was truly a "man for others". He will always be in our hearts and prayers.

To the entire Conroy Family:
I was a senior at BCH when I first met this young freshmen with the great personality. I played QB for Coach Cotter and he asked me to work with Bobby on his fundamentals. Well it took no more than a few minutes to see that his fundamentals were better than my fundamentals! The rest is history. What a great young man. May he rest in peace.

To the Conroy family, We send our deeppest sympathy to each of you. Bobby was such a great friend and teamate at BC High. After not seeing him for many years and then running into him getting a cup of coffee just last year it seemed that time had passed to quickly. Bobby was a bright light among all who knew him with his smile and spirit. May God bless him and you with his love. Bobby will always be with you and us and his spirit lives on.

My first basketball coaching job was when I first met Bobby at BC High. Although our paths have not crossed since that time, his impression has been with me ever since. Whenever I coach a player with great leadership skills, I think of Bobby. Whenever I coach a player with magnitisum, I think of Bobby. And now whenever I step on the basketball court, Bobby's memory will be with me. He was a coach's dream and I am sure that he as had a tremendous impact on anyone with whom he met. I am saddened greatly by his loss and my thoughts and prayers are with his family.

The Aliber crew has many fond memories from years of standing on the sidelines rooting our kids on in soccer -- including club trips to Virginia Beach.
Bobby was one of my absolute favorites. Even when he was struggling he could always put a smile on my face.
He was one of the truly "good guys" and he will be greatly missed both personally and by the community at large.
Our hearts and prayers go out to you.

Dear Sindi, Mark, Steven, Matthew, and the Conroy family
I want to express my deepest sympathy and condolences. The Bobby i knew was always happy and knew how keep everyone smiling. Never will forget his infectious laughter. He was always very humble and a generous person. A loving husband and a loving father, wonderful to his family and friends; hard to see a great gentleman leave us so soon. Bobby's spirit will always remain with us. As we go on with our daily lives, Bobby will always be there looking down watching us. My prayers are with you.
With sincere and respect

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Just the thought of Bobby still brings a smile even after these many years since BC High. Over these many years I would be driving through Brighton and would fondly remember him. He was one of those unique people – a genuine nice guy.
Again, my deepest sympathies and prayers for the days, weeks and years to come.

Dear Conroy Family,
It has been way too many years since I last saw Bobby (31 years ago) at BC High. I will always remember his infectious smile and good nature. Like Bobby and his wife we have three boys and I try always to teach them the BC High motto of "being a man for others!"
Bobby was a great "city kid" who always went out of his way to put his best foot forward to lead by example. Thanks for the great memories Bobby and may he rest in peace! Our thoughts and prayers are with your family at this difficult time.
