In an effort to honor your husband's life, the Erie County Legislature adjourned in his memory on Thursday, September 7, 2023. On that afternoon, the business of Erie County came to a halt as my colleagues and I remembered your husband with a moment of silence. From now until eternity the name Robert L. Conschafter will remain etched in the official public record of the County of Erie in recognition of a life well lived.

Dear Joan & Jeff & Sally- Sorry that you must live through this but your memories must be great and I know you will lean on each other. Grief never ends but it changes. It is a passage, not a place to stay. Grief is not a sign of weakness, nor a lack of faith- it is the price of love! With love, Joanne

About fifty years ago, I had sustained a serious back injury and was unable to work. I was referred to a specialist that recommended surgery that would relieve the pain but likely leave me unable to resume the strenuous requirements of my job.
Faced with an uncertain future I turned to Dr Conschafter for treatment and hope. He began a series of adjustments the made small but steady improvements. And after a time I returned to work and my life returned to normal.
I often consider how different my life might have been had I followed the path recommended by that specialist. It certainly would have meant a different career choice and I imagine countless other outcomes to a life much different than the one I enjoy now.
Dr Conschafter made a profound difference in the quality my life and I will forever owe him a debt of gratitude. My condolences to his family, you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Joan, Sally and the entire family,
Don and I send condolences and loving thoughts during your loss of Bob. He was one of the Greats! He will be missed. We were lucky to have been neighbors for many years.
