I worked with Dr Conway as a medical resident in1993.
He was a joy and pleasure to work with him.
Whenever I remember his name I remember his smile and his way of talking.
He is a peaceful sole.
I did not know about his death till this moment when I was searching the net and Albany.
I can only remember good things about him.
I know nothing last on earth but I am sad for him leaving.
I always remember his smile.

Doctor Conway Was A Friend To Me; I Know Of No One Who Did Not Like Him. He Was An Excellent, Caring Doctor, Teacher And Administrator. He Superbly Reflected The Mission Of The Religious Sisters Of Mercy At St. Peter's Hospital (The 'RSM"), And Had An Excellent Sense Of Humor Along With His Intense Professionalism.

Dear Doctor,
Well I made it through my first illness without being able to consult you. I'm sure you would have had me come in to the office and check out my sore throat and I would have brought the kids in too -- it would have been fun for all of us! And just last week we got back to weekly grand rounds and we miss your weekly presence -- your slight nervousness combined with some witty or humorous comment at introduction time was something to look forward to! But we are managing and you'd be so impressed that I've booked speakers for several months already. I'm still wishing I'd see you and your white coat walking down that long hallway or sitting in the cafeteria each morning. Still missing you and all that your brought to me and everyone who knew you. Thanks for building my confidence with all that positive reinforcement over the years...it's done a world of good.
~Your most efficient secretary

To The Conway Family -
Dr. Conway was my physician for many years and I am better for the privilage of knowing him. He practiced medicine in the warmest, most human way I have ever experienced. I have been unable to replace him. Even after he retired from private practice - he was always available to me and I valued his opinions and guidance.
His warm smile, pleasant way and humanity will be missed. May your memories sustain you. I will always treasure his acquaintance.

To the Conway Family:
Please accept my deepest sympathy for your loss.
I worked with Bill for almost 19 years at SPH as a pharmacist and have the fondest memories of those experiences.
Bill was always open to every idea that anyone had and accepted challenges whether large or small. I worked with him on many safety issues and he was willing to do anything at all to help improve the quality of care at SPH (even to go as far as posing as a one of the Men in Black for a Medical Grand Rounds). He was particularly fond of the Medication Jeopardy Grand Rounds where we challenged the medical staff about their knowledge of the safe use of medications.
What I will remember most about him is that regardless of whom you were he always made your feel like a personal friend and made time for you. He recognized the best in everyone.
Bill always spoke very affectionately about his family, giving us updates on his grandsons and grand dogs.
We all miss him. However, we all realize he is with us everyday because he taught us, listened to us and influenced us by directing our everyday decisions to care for our patients.

To the Conway Family: Please add my name to the list of countless others whose lives were touched by this incredible soul. My late husband, Fred, and I were the grateful beneficiaries of Dr. Bill's wise counsel, gentle compassion, and competent care beginning the 1970's; and no matter what the situation, we were repeatedly awestruck by his remarkable ability to put one instantly at ease. The world is diminished at his passing, to be certain, but it is so much the better for his having lived. May all who mourn be comforted by the love that abides beyond our knowing.

For the "Conway Kids"
For Billy, the road has risen to meet him
With a strong steady wind at his back
The warm sun he feels on his face is the warmth of his dear, sweet mother's eyes
The rain on his fields are the tears of joy from Elaine,for they meet again
Now God holds them both in the palms of His hands.

I wish to express my condolences to the Conway family. I was a resident at Albany Med in the 1980's and always appreciated the mentoring given so generously by Dr. Bill Conway whenever I was assigned to duty at St. Peters. It might have been because I too was a Georgetown Alum, but I was always treated with kindness and respect by this outstanding role model.
As I have gotten to know brother Gerry in recent years, I have come to conclude that the family of medicine has been well served by this great Irish American family.

Dr. Conway's lunchtime meetings with the residents at St. Peter's was one of my favorite things about my family practice residency. He always took time out of his busy schedule to sit, have lunch and talk over a recent case with us. There were always many digressions, which always tended to be more enlightening and entertaining than the medical facts. We would all laugh and learn and have a good time. He was so jovial and kind and intelligent, and always remembered little trival bits of info about each of us over our three years there. He was so special, and will be sorely missed by everyone.
To the Conway Family, I am so sorry for your loss.

Dr.C. has been my mentor, role-model, confidant, leader, and partner in Infection Control @ St.Peter's since 1992. In his kind and caring way he would teach, coach and support me as I struggled to grow in knowledge and confidence. I know he thought he failed in one major area...I couldn't learn to be brief. He often said I was one of those people who could make simple words complicated --- use way too many words to deliver a short message. Well Chief, I guess I finally learned...I find myself speechless. There aren't enough good words, accolades or tributes to adequately describe what you meant to so many us who were fortunate enough to be blessed by your presence. I will always miss you my friend...you will always be the most special colleage I have been privileged to work with. You taught me so much - and in the spirt of brevity - I'll never forget that one word answer you often gave to those difficult & vexing questions...eleven!
God bless you and grant your family peace and comfort.

Mrs. Conway, Billy & Tim,
There truly are not words that can express our sense of loss and devastation over the loss of our Doctor Conway. To some of us he was Chief, to others Doctor or BC, but to all he was our friend and in one way or another our mentor. He never failed to work his way up the hall of 4Cusack (hitting every candy dish along the way) to catch up with us, tell a joke, or just sit and chat. He knew where the coldest Diet Pepsi's were kept, the best selection of Hershey Miniatures & Resses Peanut Butter Cups and the freshest oatmeal raisin & chocolate chip cookies. Dr. Conway and Cathy were 'honorary members" of 4Cusack and invited to all our birthday & holiday celebrations. We felt special because we knew he thought we were special. We are all better for having known and loved him.

Mrs. Conway:
I am so sorry for your loss. My husband passed away last month and I know first hand how difficult this is for you. Please call me if I can be of any assistance to you. Dr. Conway was always kind to me when calling to make any insurance changes and he was respected by our office and the late Jim Laverty.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this most difficult time.

To the Conway family,
I am so very sorry for your loss. Just last week I was taken for care at St. Peter's hospital and Bill came to see me in the emergency room. His kindness went a long way to make me feel that I was in safe hands. Certainly he will be missed by many, especially in the greater medical community, but most especially by those people, like myself, who he comforted in time of need. My prayers are with you.

Dr. Conway was my father's physician in the early 80's and his compassion and caring was unlike any I have ever witnessed in a doctor. He even came to Dad's wake. My mom was dismayed when he left private practice to go with St. Pete's because it meant she would have to find another doctor - and there was no equal out there! I will never forget him.
I extend my deepest sympathies.

Mrs. Conway and Boys,
I am very sorry for our loss. Bill truly walked in God's path daily. For all of us who crossed his, we are better people for it. In the late 1980s and early 1990s I have the opportunity to "work" processing candidate Troopers at the Academy. With Bill it was a joy to spend the day insuring that New York State Taxpayers were getting the most physically fit as new members. I was glad to have shared the Troopers history with him before his interview and so proud when he was selected Division Physician. The State Police can use his time as a model of PUBLIC SERVICE.
May you reach the point of conform being able to celebrate his life rather than mourn his passing.
God bless,
Dom Denio

I've known Dr.Conway since 1980, when I started as a unit clerk on 4NR.My job was to put through the Dr.'s orders.Dr. Conway was with Dr. Lavigne and Dr. Golonka at the time.Dr. Conway was one of those few people that inspires you to be a better person. Each time I saw him, I would walk away thinking, "I need to be like him".He had a great sense of Humor and Every time I saw him I would say Hello Monsignor and he would say Hello Sister. He was very intelligent also and would challenge you when the opportunity came up. I was relieved when I got the answer right and when I didn't I walked away learning something new.I lost a wonderful friend last week but I am not alone. Anyone who knew Dr. Bill, loved him.I believe he was put on this earth to show others how to be. But he was a humble man and would not want to take credit for that. We are all so lucky to have had him in all our lives. We love you Dr. Conway and thanks for teaching us the importance of being a good soul.I'll miss you my friend.Love, Nancy Gallitelli

Dear Conway Family, Bill and I entered Georgetown the same September day in 1957 ; he from Vincentian Institute in Albany ( where my late aunt , Sister Mary Carmel,was his English teacher ) and I from LaSalle in Troy. He was a lovely ,warm guy who never wavered in pursuit of serious scholarship requisite for the distinguished career he had in medicine. My prayers are with you all at this terribly difficult time.

To The Conway Family,
My parents and I were patients of Dr. Conway's when he had his private practice on Woodlawn & Lake and were so very disappointed when he took a job in Administration at St. Peter's. Many years later my parents are gone and I found myself working at St. Peter's; again enjoying meeting and greeting Dr. Conway in the hall on the way to get coffee every morning. He will be missed as a great physician and a great leader. Now I am happy that Dr. Conway had the foresight to take the job that would help make St. Peter's Hospital a cornerstone of the healthcare system in Albany.

To the Family of Dr Conway,
I met Dr Conway about 3 years ago as a seasoned, but new Pharma. Rep to the area. Dr Conway was respectful and kind to me as a new rep. to the area and very respectful to those of us in the Pharma. Industry. It was also very apparent that he was cherished by the medical community and extremely proud of his family. Sorry we won't be seeing his kind, friendly and smiling face roaming the halls of St Peters Hospital. He will be missed.

I know I speak for the entire Venter family in offering our condolenes for the loss of Dr. Conway. He was such a support during the extended illness of our father and was the main reason we were able to keep him at home. Always available, even making house calls when we needed him most.Once when my sister saw him in the hall at St. Peters and explained the latest condition, he did not hesitate to say "OK, I'll meet you at the house"
Take comfort in your memories.

Conway Family-
All most all of you I have not met. I am a Scotia native and have the honor of calling Ed Conway my personal friend. It is an honor! He has shared with me his love for Dr. Bill. I am a retired Teacher and Football Coach who has had some personal loss in the last 12 monthes. We just returned from a wedding in Las Vegas for Dr. Bill's nephew John. Had a chance to meet John Conway, Dr. Bill's brother, a man who is total class. Dr. Bill would have been proud. If one in Colorado can extend love from 1800 miles away I wish to do so. The Conway family is nothing but love and class. The Turnbull family offers it prayers and love in this tough times. Don't be afraid to cry, it is the special love you can offer Dr. Bill.

Having worked with Dr. Conway for more than 20 years, I will truly miss him at St. Peter's. We had many conversations about his family and his love for you all would shine through every word. Please know that his St. Peter's family loves him still and I am praying that you are comforted by knowing that your grief is shared by many. He was a grand man!

Ed, John, Gayle & Paul, Gerry,
My most sincere condolence to you and the rest of your family with respect to the passing of your brother, Bill.
Despite the fact that I live just around the corner from Bill and Barbara - and, walk by their house nearly every day...I never actually had the pleasure of meeting Bill.
However, I was always somewhat amused when I would see him mowing the lawn, tending to various "house chores", putting up the annual Christmas lights on the two big trees out front...
Often wondered if any of you did the same.
Many, many fond memories of the Conway family - an extraodinary family, to be sure!
Again, my deepest sympathy...
Trust you all are well - and, God bless!

To the Conway Family: Dr. Conway was an inspiration to us all at St. Peter's Hospital. His accomplishments and level of integrity was admired by all. He always brought a smile to my face when I bumped into him in the elevator or in the hall. He always took time out to say hello and ask how things were going. I not only lost a mentor, I lost a true friend. He will never be forgotten. I send my greatest sympathies to all of you.

When I was in college I worked as a unit secretary at St. Peters Hospital on 4NR. My main job was to transcribe Dr.s orders. Dr.s may be very smart and help the sick get well but they have the worst handwriting. On my first day I couldn't read anything they had writtain. Dr. Conway came over to me introduced himself and asked me if it was my first day. He must have sensed my stress. I told him it was. He had just writtain some orders in his chart and took the time to read them to me so I could transcribe them. I really appreciated that. At least I could get one chart done. I didn't know him that well but he was always a friendly face to see in the halls of the hospital and he always said hello.

I'll always remember Dr. Conway as "Billy". He was a constant presence in our house on Allen Street as we all grew up, and a true friend to all of us Reillys -- but especailly to my brother, Terry. Not only during his illnes, when Billy was a never-ending source of comfort and encouragement, but all during Terry's life. He was always there with an encouraging word and his amazingly acute sense of humor. My prayers are with you --

Dear Mrs. Conway and family
My condolenes to you and your family for your loss as well as our loss at St. Peter's. Dr. Conway was a "grand" man. He was a true inspiration to all of us at St. Peter's as a doctor, leader, mentor and friend. He will be missed by all, he touched many lives in his caring, kind ways, he always made you laugh with his jokes. I will miss him as he walked through on his daily rounds through the ICU.

To the Conway Family:
We shared with Bill Conway in the love of four precious persons: his dear first-born son, Bill IV, his daughter-in-law and our daughter, Claire, and his darling grandsons, William V (Liam) and Quinn. This Sunday, Father's Day, as his grandfather is being waked, Liam turns two.
We will always remember Bill's glow, as he held his two cherubs on his lap. And the time he and Liam lay on the floor with their heads resting on the sleeping dog, Max, reading "Old MacDonald Had A Farm." Asked once about his proudest achievement, Bill smiled and said, "Two fine sons and two gorgeous grandsons."
Bill loved his family and that love goes with him into Heaven, where his caring soul will watch over them until they all meet again.
Bill, you are missed enormously.

Please accept my deepest sympathies.
I'm saddened to hear of Dr. Conway's passing. I was a patient of Dr. Conway when he held his practice at Woodlawn & Lake. Bill was not only my doctor, but also a good friend. I can still see Bill's office with a picture of his teenage sons on his desk. Bill was a kind, gentle man who made me, as his patient, always feel at ease. I'll always appreciate that Dr. Conway was a part of my life.

I was a family medicine resident at St. Peter's and fondly remember the "Conway Lunches" we had nearly every day with Dr. Conway. Pulled in a million directions he gladly gave his time to challenge, teach, inspire, and yes, entertain us. His role in our education was a true gift and he will be deeply missed by all.

Tho' I haven't seen him in years I can still remember him pointing me in the right direction as a new hire and encouraging me to hang in there. May Gods blessings and your wonderful memories sustain you during this time. Anyone who had met Dr Conway came away a better person for having met him.

Just received a call from my previous volunteer at SPH about this shocking news. He was a terrific boss--so easy to discuss things with, open, respectful, humorous, and full of all kinds of knowledge besides medicine. What a hole he will leave at St. Peter's, what a loss to his family and the Albany community. Former librarian at SPH.

Dear Mrs. Conway and family, please accept my deepest sympathy.
Dr. Conway was always a perfect gentleman and a great physician. he lived the following:
Physician’s Prayer
Lord, Thou Great Physician, I kneel before Thee. Since every good and perfect gift must come from Thee:
I Pray give skill to my hand, clear vision to my mind, kindness and sympathy to my heart. Give me singleness of purpose, strength to lift at least a part of the burden of my suffering fellow men, and a true realization of the rare privilege that is mine. Take from my heart all guile and worldliness, that with the simple faith of a child I may rely on Thee.
Amen
You are in in my prayers. If I can be of any help just let me know.

Barbara and Family -
Words can’t explain my sorrow. My heart aches for your loss...and ours.
His words echo in my head saying “He’s Grand” or take the Cusack Elevator to the “Penthouse please” and many other Dr. Conwayisms.
For me, Dr. Conway shared parts of his life with me when I needed him, he was a support to me personally as well as professionally. He used to tell me I was the only 40-something that continued to get childhood illnesses - when was I going to grow up.
When I asked him for help, he went beyond my request and shared his thoughts about me that I never could have guessed in a million years. He touched my heart truly.
Please take this posting as a “hug” from me until I see you again.

He volunteered as our Medical Director for over 15 years. He touched many of our staff and patients with his concern and commitment to public health and community based care. We will miss him.

Memories - gentle smiles in the hallways at St Peter's and conversation about woodworking.
Wonderful man, great presence.

God bless you and keep you with him as you grieve the loss of a truly great man. We have all been truly blessed to have known Dr. Conway and his presence at the hospital will be missed. He has inspired so many to be better caregivers and implemented so many improvements for both patients and staff. We are all better for having known him. With love and sympathy,

Dear Barb and Family,
What a shock it was to read of Bill's sudden passing on Wednesday! There are no words that help ease the loss of your beloved husband but know that I am thinking of you.
With deepest sympathy,

I have lost a treasured friend and mentor. Medicine and humor were our mutual passions. I am grateful to have shared his friendship over the past 40 years. One bright light has been extinquished in our world and I will miss Bill greatly.

To the family of Dr Conway:
It is with overwhelming sadness that we at St Peters Hospital will not long see this gracious man walk our halls, saying when asked how he
was "Grand, just grand...I shall miss him saying to me each morning when we passed in the hall "Good Morning Nurse"and replying "Good Morning Doctor". It has been an honor to know and work with him. My sympathies, thoughts and prayers are with you all in this sad time. May our Lord hold you all in the palm of his hand and bring you peace.

Tim and Family,
For the first time in history, the Golonka's are speechless. We are going to miss your dad so much. He was Dr. Bill to many of us, but Dad to you! He did so many great things for so many, particularly the neighbors. Everytime I see your deck, I will think of him, and the many months you both worked on it together. Boy, it looks great. We will miss him so much. I'm sure he will be looking down at us and smiling on us in the neighborhood.
