Conrad J. Dilger Jr.

Conrad J. Dilger, Jr., 78, of Long Branch, passed away on Saturday, March 1, 2025.
He was born in Long Branch and lived in West Long Branch before moving to Monmouth Beach.
Conrad spent 30+ years on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, both holding a seat, as well as the title of Senior Vice President between Jefferies Group, Inc., and Lawrence Helfant & Company.
Conrad lived for his wife, Virginia, and his three girls. He provided a welcome home not only for his family, but his friends, neighbors, and even his children's faint acquaintances. No matter your time at the Dilger residence, you left with a laugh and a memory, many of which are still circulating today, further cementing what a legend Conrad is and always will be - Because legends never fade away. Family vacations, family birthdays, family dinners, everything was a celebration when he was around. Sometimes over the top, always above and beyond. Conrad always gave 200% of whatever he was able to provide to those he cared for most. He cherished holidays, silly traditions and anything sweet that had a cherry on top.
Conrad's ability to make anyone and everyone laugh was truly his greatest gift of all. Just spending five minutes within his presence you could feel the room's energy light up. He created a feeling you wanted to be a part of, a joke you wanted to be in on, and a party you wanted to be invited to. To approach everything in life with a sense of humor, and a charisma that would charm us all, was an inspiration. He was rich in life in so many ways outside of material possessions, a true personality that leaves behind a legendary legacy.
He was a communicant of St. Michael's Roman Catholic Church in West End, Long Branch.
He was predeceased by his wife, Virginia Dilger and his parents, Conrad and Theresa Dilger.
Surviving are his daughters, Melissa, Christine and Ashley; brother, Thomas Dilger and 2 grandchildren, Rhodes and Redford.
