Captain Conard Obituary
Captain Thomas James Conard was a loving husband, father, and grandfather. He made his final flight to heaven after a brief and valiant battle with cancer on July 8, 2021, at the age of 67.

He was a grandfather to Rocco and June Conard, and James Wallace.
Tom loved being a grandfather, but he lived to fly. He spent his career traveling the world and mentoring his co-pilots. He was a skilled ham radio operator and enjoyed sending and listening to morse code. WA3IKQ SK. He loved dogs and especially his "pandemic collie puppy," Reilly.
