Bonnie & family: Our paths did not have the opportunity to cross often as a "down the street" neighbor, but it was so kind of you to introduce yourselves immediately when you moved into the neighborhood and we were working on the common ground. And it always made me smile to see you both working in your beautiful yard together. Without even knowing us well, Conrad was so generous to help my son by participating in a survey he needed for a high school class, and he was still so friendly when we dropped by unexpectedly just 2 weeks ago - I'll remember his kind smile. You will remain in our prayers! Lisa Yost & family

Dear Bonnie, We have lost contact in recent years and the news about Connie has totally shocked me. My love and thoughts and prayers reach out to you today. My heart is overwhelmed with sadness.

I worked with Conrad and the Seahawk team back in the nineties. I last saw Conrad in Williamsburg, VA at fellow Seahawk, Brian and Theresa Fitzgerald's sons's wedding. I also fondly remember the many Seahawk holiday parties. It still amazes me how quickly Conrad disappeared when "The Electric Slide" began to play. Bonnie was up with Conrad on the dance floor in a flash. My thoughts go out to Bonnie and the family in their time of grief.

I had the pleasure to share a work space with and get to know Conrad and his family while with AT&T/Lucent in Williamsburg VA from 1994 thru 1996. Conrad was a true professional in all he did and an awesome person of the highest integrity. I treasure the memories of having known he and his family and wish them my sincere condolences in this time of grief. I'm saddened that I did not hear of his passing until today and would have liked to have paid my respects to his family in person.

I am so very sad to read this today... I was just thinking of Conrad and Bonnie over this summer.....it has been almost fifteen years since I worked with him in Williamsburg. Some of my fondest memories of those days include Conrad because of his humor, his insightfulness and how he never tired in his helpfulness with me and other coworkers. Bonnie, my thoughts are with you and your family.

The family also wanted to pay their respects to you. Leslie, Tim, Kris, and Keri remember you fondly, and how you always made them laugh during the "Seahawk" days.
