Not sure what to say?

Dear Conn family,
I am so deeply sorry for your loss. My parents have cherished their friendship with you over the years. My dad was so touched and impressed with Bob's poetry that Bob was kind enough to share with him.
I will always remember Bob as a devoted father, coaching and attending Kevin's many sporting events. I also remember the spark between Bob and Rogene that was so evident.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Bob was an exceptional man and will be missed by all who knew him. Jack and I were out of town and so sorry to miss the funeral. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Bob was very kind to me, when I was a young and very green medical student in Seattle between 1968 and 1972. Over 15 years later, he gave me some very sage advice over the phone regarding the ideal size of a medical group. Unfortunately, I didn't heed his advice (6-8) and after our group reached 12, it all fell apart because we lost our original culture.

Dear Kevin and Conn family,

I am so sorry to hear about Bob. He was such a positive force in my life. Even now I often think back on all the wonderful things he taught us as boys, young men, and young adults. Bob Conn was one of the greatest men I have ever known. Parent, coach, mentor, role model, Jayhawk, Doctor; he was the best of the best. Most of all he was a friend during those extremely difficult "teachable moments" young men often encounter in athletic competition and in...

Anyone who had the privilege to be associated with Bob is mourning the loss of a wonderful human being; an absolute, true gentleman. Our prayers go out to all of his family.

I had no idea your father was such an athlete. I guess that explains why he out hit, and out ran, everyone at the Miller/Swartz softball game at Rob's softball field. We are so sorry for your loss.

MY VERY DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO THE ENTIRE CONN FAMILY.
I WORKED FOR DR. CONN MANY YEARS. NOT ONLY WAS HE A BRILLIANT CARDIOLOGIST HE WAS WITHOUT A DOUBT ONE OF THE KINDEST MEN I HAVE EVER HAD THE PLEASURE OF WORKING WITH.
RESPECTFULLY,
PAS

Linda, Jim and family,
Marie and I are so sorry to hear about Linda's father. He sounded like such a wonderful parent. It is never easy. Trust that our thoughts and prayers are with you, all during this sorrowful time.
Sincerely, Joe and Marie Cisper
