CLARENCE WILLIAM CONRAD
November 13, 1930 – December 5, 2020
Clary has gone to join his beloved wife, Joyce and his daughter, Beverley, leaving to mourn are his children, Paul (Patty), Patricia (Marshall), and Everett (Cheryl) and son-in-law Leonard; 11 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren.
Clary was born and raised in Chezzetcook, Nova Scotia and moved to Winnipeg in 1968 with his wife, Joyce and family.
Over the years, Clary worked in the construction industry in various capacities, a carpenter, Superintendent and finally running his own business, Oak Park Millwork. Clary worked all over the province of Manitoba and Saskatchewan making many friends and acquaintances.
Growing up in Nova Scotia, Clary became a gifted fiddle player. He loved to entertain by playing his fiddle and there was always a party with another fiddle player, guitar player and keyboard to go along with him. He especially enjoyed playing with the Southglen Fiddlers in his later years. He enjoyed having his grandchildren around him whether it be in his mill, making wine, playing the fiddle, having a drink, or just having a chat. He was always in his mill making something for his kids or grandchildren. We can all look around and see something, Dad or Papa made us.
We will miss you but you will always be with us in the treasured gifts you made us and the music you have left us.
In keeping with Dad's wishes, cremation has taken place and a family graveside service will be held at a later date.

Living across the road from Clary & Joyce in Stonewall for many years we enjoyed many good times of fiddling, friendship and companionship. We watched his children grow and leave home. The houses on Oak Park Drive that he built will always be "Clary's Houses". Rest in peace our good friend. - Posted by: Noel & Kay Blais (Friends) on: Dec 12, 2020
