I grew up away from my Uncle Johnny Left at age 5. But the Condon Home is HOME in my heart. I haven’t been able to see him many times but know he’s in Gods hand. With Sammy Maurice and Grandma. Johnny I LOVE YOU
Johnny was the last “neighbor” from the W Hale Street to pass on. What great memories of Johnny, sitting on the porch, driving around with his dog. He still had such a sharp mind, could remember such details from the past. Karen, Mike, and families, you are in our thoughts and prayers.
Hotdogs on the grill he called “PLUMPERS” thats what Eric still calls them today
So many wonderful memories of Uncle Johnny. Christmas’, Easters, the garden, sitting at his feet coloring, cooking hotdogs on the grill, Sam, walks thru the cemetary getting history on the family, getting an hour phone call every Christmas day (right up to last year, a wonderful gift), drives to Charles City, and His trade mark index-finger-salute. Johnny will be missed, but I know he is happy to be with Sam and the others before him. I love you Uncle Johnny. SALUTE!! Love, Cathy
I deeply regret the passing of John W. Condon. No matter when we lose a loved one they are gone too soon. Yet life is fragile. Like a snowflake it leaves. However, the sting of death not only pains but numbs survivors. What a blessing it will be when we can rightly ask: “Death, where is your victory? Death, where is your sting?” 1 Corinthians 15:55. All who mourn her will celebrate her life. “Do not let your hearts be troubled”. (John 14:27)
