Eric Conn's smile was the one that made me smile! He and the Conn Family lived on Northern - just adjacent to Boulevard Place - and Cecil and I went to school together - Eric is younger. Eric will always be remembered as the Conn Brother who smiled and made me smile! He was married to my cousin, Gerry.

Eric Conn and the entire Conn Family are dearly loved! Eric married my cousin, Gerry. I grew up with Eric's brother, Cecil, and the Conn Family lived on Northern while our family grew up on Boulevard. Eric will always be remembered as the "baby" of the Conn boys in the family and always loved. We are all both Family and Friends!

Faith is not believing that God can...
It is knowing that He will.

To my god children and the entire Conn family. It is now after the words of comfort are beginning to fade and the company of friends and family have come and gone. When things have become quiet giving us time to reflect and grieve that we seek God's goodness and mercy and pray for the healing of our broken hearts. My prayer for each of you and for myself is that God will hear this prayer and grant us inner peace. I love you and will always be here for you.

Growing up in the Butler-Tarkington neighborhood with the Conn Family was wonderful! We laughed, cried, played and had a tight-knit community where we looked out for one another. Eric was the "baby" of the family and he made us laugh and smile every time we saw him. My heart goes out to the Conn Family and to Cecil, especially. We grew up together and had a chance to spend some time together recently. Prayers.

You were definitely the coldest old school dude we ever had the pleasure of knowing! Many days at Amazon when we may have been broke down and tired, just the echoing of your infamous saying rang out and let us know everything was going to be alright! " Somebody gotta do her!!" "Where dey do dat at?" You will always be remembered with a smile and a chuckle in our hearts, we laughed together many times just to keep from crying! We appreciate all the love you gave, you was one of a kind!

I am so sorry about Eric. He was truly my very best friend as we were very young on Northern Ave. in Indianapolis, In. We were over each other's house everyday and playing in the streets of the Butler-Tarkington neighborhood everyday. I wish we could have stayed in touch as we grew up but we lost track of each other like many people do. May God bless his soul and family. I am truly sorry. John Skelton or Pete

To the family and loved ones, we have truly lost a good man. But know this, we will meet again. There's a place that we'll meet at after this phase of life and if I know Eric, he will have it ready for us! He was the light in any room, the voice of many people and a friend to all. My heart is with all and prayers are up! God bless Eric and his loved ones.

This is family to me, and I just don't know what to say, Eric had been a part of my life forever, my kids were his kids, many meals, fun, and love has been shared by our families over the years. Eric was a stand up man, you always knew where you stood with him. He will be missed like no other. Love to all, my heart hurts, but GOD got this.
