I remember Mr. Conrad and my dad having their coffee at Hardee’s in the morning, he always spoke to me and would tease me about things when I would see him and his wife at various restaurants in and outside of town. David E. Minardo
I work at Meadow Lakes and Delbert Conrad was a resident here just before he went into the hospital. He was a very special resident ! He always put a smile on my face whenever I got to see him. Every time he would see me he would say, goody goody gum drop. Haha. It made me laugh every time ! He always wore his cowboy hat. They always left to go McDonalds and would hang there for quite sometime. I was very happy for them to still be able to get out and about. He will be missed dearly by the staff here ! Angel Walker
