When thinking about "Uncle Wally" the first thing that comes to mind is Point Mugu and the trips I took there as child. My cousins and I piled into a car driven by our Nanny, and making the trek up the coast to invade the Jutras residence for the summer. What stands out most is how welcoming he was and how he made us all feel at home. I recall his sense of humor, his irrational love of the Raiders, and the way he constantly teased and joked with Jamie in particular. An amazingly skilled carpenter, he once even built me a baseball card case from scratch. Just a few of many memories that I will carry with me throughout my life. It is with tremendous pride that I call Conrad Walter Jutras Jr., my "Uncle Wally". You will be missed! I regretfully will be unable to attend services but my thoughts and prayers are with you Aunt Jo, Wally, and Ariel.

I taught both little Conrad and Ariel out at Seeley, and I remember what great kids they were. No doubt this is because of their great parents. I'm sure he is looking down on his greatest accomplishments and smiling on them. Rest in peace, Conrad...and have your family find peace as well.

Conrad's love and pride in his family was a constant and if asked, would be the source of lighting up an average work day. Thank you for your service to our Country, Conrad, and for your work at IID. Rest in peace.
