John and family,
Sorry to hear of your loss, I did not have the pleasure of knowing Mr. Conaway, however I knew John for quite a few years, and he must of been a great man, he raised a great son, and he left a great impression on my daughter who will miss him dearly at school. God be with your family during this time of need. Spring Weigand (Wilkinson) and daughter Marissa Weigand

At lunch one day, I asked Mr. Conaway if he enjoyed his job at school. He said, " It was not the job he enjoyed so much as it was being around the kids." Rachel Schmidt (Middlebranch Student)
May God grant Gene and his family the peace and strength of Jesus. May Gene rest in Peace.

Myra. We are deeply sorry to learn of the sudden passing of Eugene. We
are consoled knowing that he has passed into the presence of Jesus.
"....willing ..to be absent from the body, and to be present with the LOrd." (2Cor. 5:8). Our prayers are with you and your family.
We are awaiting that time when we
shall be united at the great reunion
of all those who are in Christ.

I remember hiring Gene back in the early 90's for Plain Local. He was always energetic and overflowing with fun and laughter. He will be missed by all that knew him.

Our Condolences to the family and friends of Gene. Gene was a GREAT MAN OF GOD and has led many people to the Lord. I am very PROUD to say Gene called us FRIENDS because he is a very special person. I was also glad when my son moved next door to Gene & Mara because I knew my son and his family would always be watched over. Gene will be missed but NEVER FORGOTEN.
GOD BLESS
