Robert Conrad Obituary
He was a lifetime area resident, and a 1964 graduate of Albion High School.
Mr. Conrad worked as a machinist for A-1 Production for 28 years. He retired from Guardian Industries after 13 years.
He was a proud member of the Noble County Gas and Steam Club.
Bob enjoyed drag racing and restoring cars and tractors, especially his "Old Cushman." He liked to watch his grandson race go-karts. He was a hard worker and always kept busy. Putting others to work was no problem for him, as he was good at delegating jobs for everyone.
He was born October 8, 1944, in Kendallville to Berland and Luella (Danner) Conrad. They preceded him in death. On August 29, 1964, in Kendallville he married Suzanne M. "Suzie" Beiswanger.

I worked at Guardian with Bob for years. We spend a lot of time on the same line and became close as friends. He always knew how to make me laugh. He loved his wife and family very much and the farm. What I remember most for some reason is how he liked cornflakes and porkchops for supper. I thought it was alittle different, but he loved it and couldnt wait for his wife to make it. I'll miss you , as I have for years since you retired Bob. Rest in peace buddy.
