I´ll always remember Uncle Conrad in 1976 inviting me to come stay with him in Barnwell when he heard I was coming to the SRP to serve a 4 yr. Boilermaker apprenticeship(until I found my own place)where he and to of his Chas. Co-workers were renting a 3 b/r home and I slept on a cot in his b/r. He was doing sheet metal pattern layouts and was one of the best if not the best they had. He was a smart,caring,humbled man and I always enjoyed hearing him talk. He also gave me a 1971 US Mint Eisenhower silver dollar earlier on when he heard I was collecting coins as he was and I still cherish it today. God Bless Him Aunt Ginny and All my cousins

Conrad was always a kind and caring man. Bob and I were blessed to know him. We spent many evenings playing bridge at the JIYC. I know his family will cherish his memory. Love to Ginny! Bob and Edna
