Conyers was one of my first auto parts deliveries, I was afraid of Dick Conyers at first (I was 16), but found that he was very wise and more caring than he would ever admit to. He will be missed. RIP

May faith, family and friends sustain you at this difficult time. I was a teacher at GHS and often stopped at Conyers' Standard. Mr. Conyers was always friendly and polite. I appreciated his helpfulness. It was reassuring to know I had someone trustworthy to work on my car and to answer my questions.

Mr. Conyers taught me so much! He was more of a father figure and role model than my own father! I am a grateful and appreciate all he did for me!

My Deepest Sympathy to The Conyers Family. We are so sad to hear that Mr Conyers passed away. What a truly great guy in so many ways. I will always have so many great memories growing up on the three hundred block of Indiana St. in Griffith. Every Parent and every Kid made it a "One of a Kind", and now we have lost another "One of a Kind Neighbor". He always put a smile on my face. I am glad I had a chance not too long ago to thank him for that and so much more. We are all lucky to have known him.
