I have many great memories thanks to Steve, like the fun times with Kathy and Dan in Hayward and Dillon and especially the time he arranged Superbowl tickets for me. My love, prayers and condolences to all of you. May you always enjoy wonderful memories of the time you had with him. I'll bet he's going to have a great St Patrick's day in Heaven.

So sorry to hear of Chief Conroy's passing. He was the first Chief I worked for at the St. Paul Fire Department. I used to see him at church at Assumption and I would always approach him to see how he was doing. My thoughts and prayers are with you Steve Jr. and all the family. Cindy Mentes

My Prayers are with all the family during this time of sorrow. Steve's Mom and Dad were responsible for bringing my late wife Barbara to this country which resulted in Theresa, Jerry Jr, John, Eileen, Jim and Barbara for which I can be nothing but grateful.
