Frater Erik Conard passes on to the Chapter Eternal

Tom Earp · #1 11-01-2006, 03:41 PM

I got an email from Erik Conards Wife Grace that my very dear friend has passed away.

Erik passed away the morning of Oct. 31 st, Holloween Day.

I am sure E is getting a chuckle out of this knowing him as I did.

I am saddened by this as he and I went back to 1965 at PSU in Kansas.

He knew I wanted to start something on my own and did a lot of behind the scenes work to help us. He suggested LXA as He had a lot of respect for the organization as he knew many LX's over the years especially in his traveling years.

Please say a little prayer for him and when you next ahve a toddy raise one for him.

Interfraternally Yours,

Edited to change Grace from sister to wife.

I actually thought of him the other day when I logged on and wondered where he is.

May he rest in peace.

I had been wondering also
where Erik has been.
He had many stories from many years
of being involved in the Greek world.
While sometimes
he said things that drove me nuts,
I hope I'm still into being Greek
when I get to be his age.
RIP Erik.

I never quite understood that either. His posts came out looking like poetry, and perhaps they were.

I think I figured it out some time ago. If you keep hitting enter while composing your posts in the post/reply box, it's going to look strange once it's actually posted. The margins are different. While the post box is about half of the screen's width, the actual text will go most of the way across the screen.

Tom,
I am so sorry to hear of the death of your friend Eric Conard. I shall pray for him and ask that God be good to him. May he find happiness and fulfillment and be among those who will value and honor him forever. May he be made whole and stand with his brothers. May our Lord welcome him into the fellowship of those who have gone before, and may his memory call to mind only the good of his life.

I will lift a glass and toast his memory this evening.

Interfraternal greetings and a prayer of blessing be with him, and my sincere
condolences to you my friend.
Peter
