I know that he loved all of his family, including his brothers and sisters. I’m going to miss his cheerful greeting of “Conways” on the other end of the phone When I called.
Earl (Kenny) was a great brother, can’t remember ever having a serious disagreement with him. He treated everyone with kindness and respect.
We extend our sympathy and love to his family.

Please be assured of my family’s prayers and sacrifices for you and your father’s soul as you grieve the loss of him here. May the choirs of angels, our lady, St. Joseph, and all those your dad held close to his heart carry him swiftly to Our Lord. Death is his gain and our (temporary) heartache. God be with each of you while you mourn.
