David Conard Obituary
David loved, above all, his wife Carol and their children: Lindsey and her husband Nathaniel, Ian and his fiancée Mina, and Addie; and his brothers Nat and Peter and their families, as well as his late parents Doris and Mac, his community of friends in and around Shelburne and Charlotte, his law partners, his new home and his new tractor, his boats and his truck, his cowboy boots, dancing, skiing, biking, and good wine.
David was born in Pittsfield, Mass., and raised in Vershire, Vt., where his parents founded The Mountain School in 1962 and raised their three sons to love learning, the world, and especially its mountains. He attended Dartmouth College, where he rowed crew, worked on the ski patrol, and relished his friendships in the Beta Theta Pi fraternity. He graduated from Dartmouth in 1982 and from the University of Colorado School of Law in 1986.
After working briefly for the Denver law firm of Morganthaler Pharo doing oil and gas law, David returned to Vermont and joined the law firm of Miller Eggleston, founded a law firm with Tom Little and Bert Cichetti, and finally found his colleagues for life at Langrock, Sperry & Wool.
David led the Board of Directors at the Committee on Temporary Shelter, the Board of Directors of the Vermont Youth Conservation Corps, the Thompson's Point Association in Charlotte, and the Development Review Board of the Town of Shelburne.
David's keen judgment, sharp memory, sense of humor, and boundless energy made him a leading lawyer in real estate and construction transactions and disputes. His quick mind was matched with a huge heart that glowed with his family, reached out to friends and strangers alike, and spoke aloud every day in a rolling laugh that could be heard for miles. David was a builder, of wooden things and stone walls, of friendships and family, of community and of law firms. He is survived by all that he built, by the laughter he brought everywhere he went, and by all that he loved.
A service to celebrate David's life will be held at UVM's Davis Center on Tuesday, July 2, at 2 p.m.
In lieu of flowers, people may wish to make contributions in David's memory to: The Vermont Youth Conservation Corps, The Committee on Temporary Shelter, or The Kelly Brush Foundation.

Dave and I roomed together at Beta on winter. The remarks on his life capture the amazing person Dave was. We cannot fathom the loss to his family and the community. We are profoundly saddened by the loss of this great light.

I too was at Dartmouth same time and we shared the same name. One time my paycheck from Mary Hitchcock was deposited in his account by mistake. Perhaps a trival comment but memories always help rekindle a life well lived.

David was that special man who gave love to those he touched. Carol, he touched you and your family deeply and permanently, and that touch reached the fibers of your hearts and souls and will remain there always, to be shared with generations to come. He will be missed by many because he spread his joy and light so broadly. I feel fortunate to have known such a wonderful man.

I met David soon after I became friends with Lindsey, our freshman year of college. Since my home was across the country, David and Carol took me in over spring break. Staying with them for a week I got to witness what a cool step-dad he was—funny, kind and grounded. One day during that week Carol and Lindsey were busy doing something, so David took me out to lunch in Burlington, just the two of us. What a sweet thing to do with your step-daughter's 18-year old friend! I always felt bonded to him after that, in during all the many times that I came to Shelburne during college, I loved getting a chance to hang with David. I also loved his good-naturedly banter with Carol's Middlebury friends, who teased him because he was often the lone Dartmouth guy in a crowd of Midd grads.
It was so clear to me how important he was in Lindsey's life and what a balancing effect he had on her; but it became even more clear to me just how deep the love was between him and Lindsey when I got to watch him officiate her wedding ceremony. It was beautiful to watch David and Lindsey's interaction during the ceremony—David did a beautiful job of balancing humor and gravitas (as he seemed to do all the time), and they were both clearly choked up during the moving ceremony. David presided over his beautiful step-daughter's marriage to Goudi so well, and I remember marveling at their special relationship.
I loved his hugs and his even-keel and am very saddened. I am so sorry for Carol, Lindsey, Ian and Addie's loss. My heart goes out to you all.
Joy and woe are woven fine... -- Blake

What an absolutely wonderful name-- I never knew all David's middle names. They sound just like him. He was wonderful to us at a time when former friends were tormenting us, and made us laugh when it seemed nothing would ever meke us laugh again. He also suggested that I move to the peace and quiet of Vershire, where he grew up. Now I feel I ought to go and take a look at that special place... David, thank you for all you did for us, and for being our friend.

It seems impossible that someone as full of life as David could be gone from this world. He lit up any room that he was in with his joyful presence. I am so sorry for the loss to Carol and their family. One of my fondest memories of David was how he greeted me after I returned from a semester off campus - he simply swept me up in his arms and twirled us both around. It was just a wonderful moment. I was always "swept up" in his company and will miss him dearly.

Nathan and Peter,
My memories of David include an image of him at age 10 that, minus the facial hair, the balding pate and the obvious added years is identical to his obit photo. "I liked him" is my recollection from 43 years ago, and according to his obit his legacy remained "What's not to like?". I am saddened for you by his untimely passing.

To David's family,
My heartfelt thoughts are with you during this difficult time. I was a classmate of David's at the Mountain School and always enjoyed his energy and quick wit. I was fortunate to have stayed in touch with him via TMS reunions and am so grateful to have known him.

It's been over 20 years since I've seen Dave, but looking at his picture here, I can hear him gleefully cackling at some delicious irony or dreadful pun. I'm dumbfounded that so much time has passed, and now he's gone. I spent some time with Dave at Dartmouth, and later at Masters ski races. He stayed at my house in Maine once. Not very much time really, but with his childlike openness and warmth he was easy to know, and I know I've lost a great friend. He was a deep and serious thinker, but he celebrated the humor in everything in life. Very competent at every undertaking, yet so modest and self-deprecating. In those days, he was searching for his calling, and it seems he found it in his family and in his professional and volunteer work. I miss you Conny. My heart goes out to your family.
July 5, 2013
My deepest sympathies to Dave's friends and especially his family. This news was quite a shock. Dave represented and counseled me and my company for nearly 15 years. His wit and wisdom will be greatly missed by all.

In death as in life, Dave continued to draw people together as we shared stories, music, laughter, tears with old friends and strangers at yesterday's service. In the midst of such a difficult time, it was wonderful to hear about the many different parts of his life and be able to picture him in each place, at each time.
I will remember so much (and miss so much), but I am grateful to have been one of the lucky ones who got to dance with him in college, at reunions, wherever. Thanks to his family for sharing him with us all. You will remain in my prayers and thoughts.

Perhaps David was an angel on Earth. Is it possible? I mean, really, can a human be as kind, loving, smart, giant and honest as he was? I'm not sure. He had so many amazing qualities, but the part of him I will always remember and truly miss were his wonderful, bone-crushing hugs. He never held back, and as someone who was blessed enough to receive these hugs in life, I know that he was always right there-- right in that moment with me-- and there was nothing contrived or obligatory or missing in those precious seconds. I was so glad when David found a place to channel this tremendous love into his life with Carol, Lindsey, Ian and Addie. What a blessing for him and for them! I can imagine your profound grief and am holding you all close to my heart and in my prayers.
I wrote this little haiku about him. I hope it brings some comfort to anyone who loved David.
A giant, bear hug!
We stand, let go and listen
To fading laughter.
Be at peace, kind man.

We feel so lucky to have known Dave ("Connie") and are so terribly saddened by his death. Kent and I went to Dartmouth with him and he was the best Dartmouth had to offer. Quick witted, so funny, so energetic and just so much fun to be around. Truly he will be missed at every reunion going forward. With love, Sheila and Kent Cooper '82

To Carol and family, I write this with a heavy and full heart. In the short moments of time that I had the privilege to hang-out with you all... I felt the LOVE, the kindness and joy that David brought to all of you! I hold you in my heart as I send my sincere condolences.

What a lovely tribute to a wonderful guy. My (near-daily) trips to the Shelburne Supermarket where I often ran into David and shared a laugh will certainly be less memorable, but I will remember him fondly. I came to know The Mountain School in the past several years, and could readily see how its special ethos had become a part of David's DNA. What a loss. Sincere condolences to Carol and the rest of the family.

David, thank you for reminding all of us to live life large, thoughtfully, with style and passion. We'll do our best, for you.

David...when you said good bye Friday I wished I knew it would have been the last time...If i had known I would have run over and hugged you tight and said thank you.. Thank you for making Carol so happy and for helping me meet Chris, and for just being my HERO if it wasn't for you David I wouldn't have my kids back it was your help and support that gave me my life back I'll love you for that always. I'm sure that your soul is now with Carol but just know that I'll try to be your hero now and always make sure Carol and the kids are ok. Til I see you in your boots on my clean, wet floor again.... Love always

Whenever David e-mailed or called I looked forward to returning his message by phone, if only to hear him chuckle and laugh and add humor in a way only David could. I will miss him. My condolences to Carol along with David's family and friends.

Such an unbelievably tragic loss for so many. My deepest condolences to Carol and her family and to the Langrock Sperry & Wool family. The VT legal community will miss David dearly. I personally owe David for helping me land my first VT legal job by making an introduction to his dear friend and former colleague, Anne Cramer. I walked into David's office back in 2005 to find a giant of a man in cowboy boots amidst an office filled with bottles of tequila. I knew I was talking to the right guy from that point on. David's laughter, generosity and spirit will never be forgotten. May he rest in peace.

Foster and I are deeply sorry for the loss of such an amazing friend, summer neighbor, legal advisor, and wonderful spirit. We had the chance to see eachother last Saturday, and the hugs we exchanged go to you, Carol, and your family. Our family spot on the lake made it so we had the joy of knowing David, and enjoying his infectious laugh, charm and warmth. Our hearts and prayers to you as you try and understand this sudden loss. We are here for all of you, when ever and whereever the need may be. Remember how beautiful it was to see our footprints in the sand together, when we met on that lovely beach.
All of our love.

I am so saddened to read of David's untimely passing, and to receive the news while traveling out of the country only makes the burden harder to bear. During the years of knowing David, in the myriad of Burlington's overlapping social circles, I have only seen him to have a cheerful and optimistic attitude about life and other worldly pursuits. Meeting and uniting with Carol and her family brought him even greater happiness and I pray that those who knew and loved David find some solace in the memory of the ways he touched each of their lives.

I did not know David well, but had occasions over the years to have him represent the other side in a number of real estate transactions. He always made me laugh and I loved that and I loved his energy. I totally trusted his legal knowledge on the subjects we were dealing with, and he was creative when it came to overcoming obstacles so we could close the deal. I know his clients trusted him too and felt like they were in good hands, and from what I've heard the same was true for the Boards on which he served. He was taken way too soon, and while we can celebrate the wonderful life he made for himself, we can't help but feel something wonderful was taken from us.

It was touching to read about David's life and accomplishments. My wife and I crossed paths with David and his family at the Mountain School in the early 70', and even then I sensed that David would go on to live a full life and one that enriched the people around him. Deeply felt condolences to the family.

Verily, through the algorithm of Face Book I just recently reconnected with Folks from the Mountain School. I was looking forward to seeing David again this July after so many years. I am so saddened by his sudden death. As a teen I remember his huge laugh, whispered jokes and the Joy of reciting Monty Python skits. He was a great dancer, actor, a gentleman and a scholar. My heart goes out to his family and to Peter and Nat. Though we have not been in touch for many years you are thought of as family relations! That was the impact of the Mountain School community. That culture is a big part of who I am and I imagine other TMS Alums. Clearly David continued this wonderful culture where ever he went. He is remembered fondly. Peace and love.

I was lucky enough to know David at The Mountain School when he was very young and then rediscover him years later when he returned to VT. What a marvelous conversationalist, knowledgeable attorney, good listener, fun and enlightening to know. It's a privilege to have seen this delightful kid grow into such an enagaged life full of love and merriment. So hard to lose him, so good to know him.
Tamara Sloan
June 27, 2013
I am so sad. His laugh and his quick wit - those qualities, among many wonderful characteristics, stand out for me the most. I remember car-pool rides from Mountain School events where he could recite almost every line from a movie we had seen - punctuated by his booming laugh. I love this photo of him - it captures so much. I will be on a plane during his service so sadly cannot attend, but my sister will come and I hope to get to his father's memorial service in July. Such a huge loss. Each Conard family member has given so much to so many. My heart aches.

I remember introducing a certain tall enigmatic lawyer wearing cowboy boots and jeans to my partners at LSW thinking he would be a perfect fit. A perfect fit he was, not just by enhancing the law practice, but by bringing uncanny humor, knowledge, respect and a kindness to the office every day. We will miss his powerful laugh, kind spirit and wonderful presence. Michael Wool

A force of nature and fun! This is how I have always thought of and will continue to think of David.
David always provided leadership on our Board and was on the verge of moving the Vermont Youth Conservation Corps forward to a new and exciting future...however, it was the friendships, fun, and personal relationships he built with each of us that truly moved our organization...and will continue to inspire for a long time to come.

I am very sad to hear this news. Dave could always be relied upon to show up for the unexpected adventure with commitment and enthusiam. His love of the North Woods, his commitment to the community and his passion for life always inspired many of his college friends. Though he is a Vermonter, as the Dartmouth song goes, "the granite of New Hampshire wil bear a record of his fame" and we will all miss him.

Dear family and friends of Dave, we never met, because Dave and I were friends in law school in Boulder, Colorado in the early 1980s. He was a great, lanky, kind man. We skied up to the Continental Divide together, drank beers at these new-fangled brewpubs. I was very sad to hear of his passing. As a fellow stone-wall builder, owner of a tractor, and former Vermonter, we lived somewhat parallel lives. My heart goes out to you all, and despite 25 years having gone by, it hurts to know he's gone. Farewell Mr. Conard -- missing you out West.

My sincerest condolences on such an emmense loss. David represented my husband and I in a few different Real Estate/Environmental issues in the last 14 years, and was so knowlageble and wonderful to work with he made the legal system make sense. So much so that he was one of people who inspired me to become an attorney myself; I was sworn in last October. I will always be thankful to him.

Cowboy, you are missed terribly already. You are the only person I have ever known that walks like a cowboy, talks like a cowboy and dresses like a cow boy...but has nothing to do with riding or owning a horse. You even loved Montana and Colorado.....believe it or not, I will even miss your huge truck that took up 3 parking spaces.

David was an inspiration to me and many others I'm sure ......I worked with David on many matters over the years and he made the arduous task an easy one ....... and always managed to bring a little humor into every situation. I shared his interest in woodworking, stone walls and tractors and loved trading stories about these things ........with a true renaissance man. Those cowboy boots with a pin stripe suit? David - you're forgiven. We will all miss him.
