Conry Richard R.E., age 55. Born on May 11, 1947 in Minneapolis. Preceded in death by his father and grandparents. Survived by loving wife, Johanne; mother, Loretta Fritz; sister, Patricia Dicky and extended family and friends. His compassion for animals will be missed by Shanti, Shadow and Nimbus, who will no longer be able to greet their loving and devoted master. Richard was a man who wore many caps. He enjoyed remodling projects, biking, boating, sharing walks with his family and his dogs, and most of all, his love of flying. Although, currently he was employed as a pilot with Executive Aviation, his former careers included nursing specializing in dialysis, American Airlines pilot, construction and real estate. Family and friends will remember Richard's warm, caring and compassionate attitude towards everyone. Once you were a friend of Richard's, you were a friend for life.
