Eldon Wayne Conyne

He was my favorite teacher. I am so sorry for your loss. Praying for your family!!

I just noticed this.
Mr. Conyne was a friend. He taught me how to write.
That turned out to be pretty important for me.
My condolences to the family.

Mr. Conyne was one of my favorite teachers at SMS and I always knew he was a teacher that genuinely cared about you as a person and as a student. I thought of him often on my path to becoming a teacher and was thrilled to run into him a few years ago on his way to bridge at the Leawood Community Center. What an amazing person and anyone who met him in life was better for having known him. Thank you for all you did in service and in education. You made a difference in this world.

Mr. Conyne was a wonderful teacher. In 7th grade, we learned how not to say "uh," how to deal with heckling, and how to speak contemporaneously, rather than by rote, by using only 7 words on a note card for a 30 minute speech. He told us that if you get stuck, just repeat what you just said, and the audience will consider it wise emphasis. Thank you, Mr. Conyne, for your service to your country and community, and for teaching us how to communicate authentically and confidently.

This newscaster would not use the common audible pause such as, "Ahhhh" or "Hmmm", but would say, "But Hey" a plethora of times. I emailed the newscaster and...

Your gentle kindness will never be forgotten, dear neighbor. May your empathy now join the fabric of our universe. Love, Liliane

Mr. Conyne was my English teacher in 1988 at Shawnee Mission South. He remains one of my favorite teachers and I still think about him often for lessons he taught that were definitely not in the English curriculum. I wasn't an easy student but he was patient and supportive even when he was being firm. He was a proud Marine and some of his stories influenced my later decision to join the military. He was also proud to live in Peculiar, MO and he told us all the time.Mr. Conyne warned us at...

I loved you cousin Eldon you will be greatly missed. You always had a smile on your face and friendly smile and great dresser. I wouldn't have been here if you weren't there on Mom and Dads first date. I will always remember that story you always told.
Sorry for your loss Rodney.
