Not sure what to say?

I´m so sorry that I am just hearing of Dick´s passing. It was such a pleasure to spend time with him and Pat and some other family members at times. Although it was during treatment, we made the best of our time together. Talking sports: baseball, hockey, football.. My favorite sassy comment by Dick to me as a nurse was after I took out an IV and took some of his arm hair with the tape.

I have such wonderful memories of working with Dick Conley at Burncoat Middle School. He was a true friend and mentor.

My condolences to the Conley family on the passing of Mr Conley. Always very nice to us kids up on Newell Hill Rd. May he rest in peace

Dear Pat and children, please accept our condolences regarding Dick's passing. We have many fond memories of times at the Sterling little league games (the 'Steelers') and gatherings some evenings with the parents. Our reconnection recently at lunch with the Bonnell's is a time both John and I think of fondly and again we, you & I, share so much. May God hold you in His hands until you sense His healing spirit.

Dear Shawna, Matt, Rich & Mrs. Conley, I am so very sorry for your loss. I had no idea & just learned of his passing today. May your memories help to ease some of your pain. Please know that I am thinking about all of you during this very sad time.

I was a teacher at Burncoat when Dick was there. Living near the summit, we were frequently on the same bus. He caught my eye because he and his brother were so handsome----strikingly so. When I told Dick this story, he told me why he was always on the bus. It seems that he and his brother rode the bus every Saturday until they got a date. I can never forgot the hilarity of that. What determination.
