Linus Francis "Con" Conrad

October 27, 1939 - December 4, 2016

Linus Francis “Con” Conrad, age 77, of Versailles, passed away Sunday, December 4, 2016, at his home. He was born October 27, 1939, in Washington County, Iowa, a son of the late Bernard N. and Leona B. (Sanders) Conrad. On December 9, 1989, in Kansas City, Missouri, he was united in marriage to Sue Cochran, who preceded him in death on June 14, 2014. Linus was a proud veteran of the United States Navy and the United States Army National Guard, having served in Vietnam. He was awarded the Navy Good Conduct Medal, the National Defense Service Medal and the Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal. He built his career as a heavy equipment operator for the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 101 in Kansas City, Missouri, retiring after many years of service. He was a member of the St. James Catholic Church in St. Paul, Iowa and the Missouri River Boating Association. Linus was a hard worker who stayed busy working with his hands. He spent many hours remodeling the home he and Sue purchased. He enjoyed attending auctions and acquiring broken items which had potential to be fixed and put to good use. Above all, he loved spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren. He is survived by his sons, David Conrad and wife Sara and Danny Conrad and wife Christy, both of Kansas City, Missouri; his daughter, Kim Plemmons and husband Mickey of Versailles, Missouri; grandchildren, Faith Conrad, Hope Conrad, D.J.

In addition to his parents and wife, he was preceded in death by his daughter, Diane Shoop, brothers, Carl Conrad, Ernest Conrad and Jim Conrad and his sister, Patricia Finette.
