So glad that I knew and worked with Conrad back in the Brunswick days. What a kind friend he was to keep in touch with me all these years. I will miss his occassional emails and annual Christmas letters, but most of all I will miss him. At the funeral I was happy to hear about all the pranks he used to play on the guys at work. I was also happy to meet David and Lori and the kids. God bless you.

We are rejoicing that Conrad is with the Lord and that you had such wonderful times with him as your dad, father-in-law, and grandpa. He will be missed! May the Lord wrap His arms around you all during this time.

My husband and I enjoyed 50 years of a great friendship with Ike and his wife, Betty. From the BYF Youth Group, weekends at Snow Valley, dinners in our home, and just visiting, it was all so much fun. To David, Lori, Anna, and Wes, my utmost love and sympathy. Be assured that your dad is right now enjoying the blessings of heaven. Praise God!
