A Great Greek passed to the beyond.
 
I was notified by Erik Conards sister Grace, that Erik Conard passed away Oct. 31 morning.

Knowing Erik as I did, I am sure he would have gotten a chuckle over this.

While many did not like him for his outspoken wording and words, He was worth so much more to the Greek World than many realize.

He helped promote many Greek Organizations on new Campi whether it be Fraternal or Sorortal.

Erik was a very proud member of Tau Kappa Epsilon but still worked for all of us.

Please give a thought to his family and the Greek World.

Thank you, Tom, for posting this information. My thoughts & prayers are with his family & his TKE brothers.

Alpha Sig Scott 11-01-2006 06:47 PM

I enjoyed reading Eriks posts.

His fraternal experience and knowlege will be missed.

RIP

Even though there were plenty of differences, he still was a good person to hear out...

My condolences to the Conrad familly and TKE brotherhood. He had a wealth of knowledge of all-things-Greek that we wish we knew.

JonInKC 11-01-2006 07:09 PM

I was concerned that he hadn't posted in a long time, because of the poor health he was in. I am saddened, yet hope that Eric is at peace now, and free from the hardships he endured in his latter years. May he rest in peace in the Chapter Eternal.

DeltAlum 11-01-2006 10:09 PM

Agree with him or not, Erik was a loyal fraternity man and one of the most knowledgable I've ever run across.

Rest In Peace, Brother Greek.

honeychile 11-01-2006 10:18 PM

Erik was definitely one of a kind. My sympathies to his families, biological and greek.

that's sad to hear. my thoughts are with his biological & fraternal family, and friends.

MysticCat 11-02-2006 09:57 AM

Thanks for letting us know, Tom. I had actually thought about PMing you recently to see if he was having more health troubles, since we hadn't heard from him in so long.

TKE has lost a loyal brother, and he could certainly keep things interesting around here.

May he rest in peace.

mulattogyrl 11-02-2006 10:02 AM

R.I.P. Erik Conard.

PhrozenGod01 11-02-2006 11:19 AM

I always liked his writing style. Even if he said something I disagreed with, I usually wouldn't notice until reading it again. He will be missed.

Honeykiss1974 11-02-2006 12:43 PM

Thanks Tom for the update. We can never say that Erik didn't leave an impression on GC. :)

May he rest in peace and may God comfort his family.

navane 11-02-2006 01:05 PM

GC has a colorful cast of characters and he was certainly one of them. My thoughts go out to Mr. Conard's family, friends and his beloved Tekes.

He will be missed, especially amongst the LCA's with whom he was so cordial.

Thank you very much for posting this for us.

He was very active with TKE and had worked with other Greek Organizations in the expansion at different schools.

He was a very educated and knowledgeable person who was a firm beleiver in the Greek system for both Frateritys and Sororitys.

I have received emails and calls at the store from his fellow TEKEs who knew he and I were good friends.

He will be missed through out the Greek World.

ECUJacob 11-04-2006 11:44 PM
