We each remeber with warmth and fondness the many happy hours we spent at your house while growing up. Dr. Conley always had a smile and kind word for each of us. Our thoughts are with all of you.

Our deepest sympathy to Lillian and Ellen as well as the rest of the Conley family. Our memories go back to the Milwaukee Hunt Club , the Little Sister Resort, and many tennis group New Year's Eve parties. A true gentleman with a marvelous sense of humour.

We could not have wished for finer neighbors than the Conleys these last fifteen years. Jim had such a wealth of knowledge about the Fox Point of years ago, indeed of so many things, and his gentle kindess and exquisite manners can only make us imagine what a great practicing doctor he must have been. We know that, yes, 92 years is a good long life, longer than most, but we wish there could have been just a few more, provided he could have enjoyed them in good health. Our hearts go out to his family for we are sure they will miss him terribly. We will think of him often for years and years to come.
