I would like to offer condolences to the family of Conrad at this sad time. So enjoyed my contact with Conrad over a number of years getting my potatoes from him. Lots of fun talks and laughs. Never drove past without looking to see you were out there. Kind regards Raewyn and Tommy

Thinking of you all & sending my love I have such fond memories of Uncle Con, always with a smile on his face, laughing & joking. I´ll never forget his kindness when my Dad died. I was so overwhelmed having to deal with his house & massive shed full of tools - Uncle Con & Grandad helped me with it all, working hard every day during winter to sort through everything & make decisions. I would have been so lost without them & will never forget it. I can imagine them all reunited now having a good yarn & a laugh together. Michelle x

A great man who will be missed. Grew up across the Rd from Connie and family and neighbours for over 50 years. Our family loved listening to him play the bagpipes, and it wouldn´t be much longer than two months ago Connie threw out another small session on the pipes. Sincere condolences to family. We will miss you Con.
