Pamela C Catoe wrote a sympathy message

“Uncle Conley will forever be remembered as the epitome of a southern gentleman. His manner was always calm and caring. I have a memory of going to one of the Newberry football games he led as its Quarterback. He was always looked up to by me. He will be missed, but I know I will see him again in Heaven.”
