From plants and vegetables to Christmas Trees, Conrad was always happy to help. His outgoing personality and his keen sense of humor kept the customers coming in year in and year out. He loved cheering for the Dodgers, from starting in Brooklyn to currently in Los Angeles. He shared his passion for baseball by participating in Colonie Little League as a much loved coach and mentor for many years. He loved his English setter, Chucky, whom he saw as one of his kids.
