Wallace V. Conrad

Conrad Wallace V. Conrad, 86, died June 12, 2013 of natural causes at Wesley Glen Retirement Center. Conrad, a native of Chicago, was a retired postal worker, a World War II veteran, and a Quaker, who enjoyed long walks in the woods and trips to the opera and symphony with his wife of 62 years, Rose. The couple moved to Clintonville 10 years ago. Conrad studied languages, philosophy, history, opera and psychology for fun. His humanitarian outlook led to aiding hapless motorists, cleaning parks, prairie restoration, and care of elderly friends. He loved walking, ballroom dance, choral singing, and the arts. Conrad is survived by his wife, Rose; four children, Woody, Shelby, Amy and Willa and their partners; seven grandchildren and three great grandchildren. A Quaker Memorial Service will be held in Columbus in late July. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Hospice Services of Methodist Eldercare, 614-461-5089. www.methodisteldercare.org
