Con was always surrounded by family who cared for him deeply.  Con loved God, and practiced his faith daily, he loved his family, he was a generous, he gave what he had to others throughout his life, and he was the family historian. Con was not a materialistic man, his walls did not display expensive art, he preferred walls filled with images of God, Jesus and the Mother Mary, and overlapping photos of family.

His family will miss him deeply, we will miss him sharing his love for God, his kind heart, his humble being, his forgiving demeanor, and his love for all he knew. May he rest in peace with God.
