Not sure what to say?

Frank brought wit, charm and determination to everything he did in life. Rest in peace, Old Friend.

Calm seas and fair winds my old sailing Friend. God bless.

So sorry to hear about Franks passing. Unfortunately we are in Lake Placid area attending a Celebration of Life for my Brother in Law who passed away suddenly. Frank was a good friend who we shared many great times together with. Golfing, sailing, cards, politely campaigns and events and dinners to name a few. Our sincerest condolences to Johanna, his family and friend

I met Frank when he and Johanna moved into their Falmouth home. Immediately we became fast friends, golfing partners and avid boaters. No subject was too sacred to discuss especially politics and current golfing events. Frank was the type of man who could make you feel like you were his best friend. He was a great conversationalist and extremely knowledgeable. It was always fun to be with the Conleys, especially on trips to Edgartown. I will miss him dearly. Safe travels Frank, save a seat on...

Met Frank after moving back to Boston Squantum (Essex St.) from New York City We played on the Harvard Garden's softball team & golfed in a league at the George Wright Course! He and Tommy Hobin always invited me to crew for the Figawi Race! Unfortunately having three boys at the time my summer weekends were taken. Frank was a great guy and a good friend. As always career and moves separate friends but he will always be remembered fondly by me and his soul will always "SAIL" on.

To the Conley Family I am so sorry to read of Frank's passing. He was a great guy and an inspiration in my life. We both worked in the Senate in the late 1960's and worked on the Carter campaign in 1976. We were on opposite sides for Mayor, but remained friends. I got to know Frank's dad, who was also a wonderful guy and a legendary Boston bartender. May Frank rest in peace.

Frank and I worked together at SBA. He as regional counsel and I as Boston District Counsel. Frank was a fierce supporter of the District Counsels and the district office attorneys. However what I most remember of Frank is the many discussions of local and national politics. His insights were consistently illuminating. We had a mini reunion with Mary, Chris and I two years ago and once again the conversation turned to Frank's favorite topic, politics. I had been looking forward to another...
