Published by Legacy Remembers on Aug. 4, 2025.
Bob was born in Cresco, Iowa to Ray Conrad and Mable McCarty, also brother (Richard). Playing trombone with the Turkey River Allstars, golf, Penny's worker, hijinks and laughter are all aspects of Bob's rich childhood.

Bob received a Master's in Music Education at Greeley Teachers College. He then joined the Army and was stationed in Panama. Later he received a second MA in Guidance and Counseling from Portland State University.

Bob moved to Washington State and began his teaching career in Bremerton in 1959. Bob moved to the Vancouver School District to continue teaching choral music. He met Margo Wallace at a music workshop and they were married in 1962. They settled into lives as school teachers in Vancouver for the remainder of their careers. After 8 years of RVing moved to LaConner, WA then onto OakHarbor and eventually Belllingham, WA.

Bob is survived by wife Margo, daughter Paula Graham (Dennis), and son Mike Conrad (Barbara). In Bob's honor, please spread joy in your community.
