Conrad was the youngest of 14 children born into a Kansas farming family. Even as a young man, he was a very gentle person, quiet in everything he did. He took life at a slow pace, and was extremely patient in explaining things to others. He enjoyed the simple pleasures of life: farming, gardening, playing cards, eating popcorn, and photography.

He joined the Franciscan Capuchins as a Third Order Brother at age 36, and remained at St. Felix in Huntington for 37 years, tending the orchard and vineyard, and caring for the boilers.

As his health declined, Conrad was always ready to acknowledge his gratitude and admiration for those who took such good care of him. Conrad made it a practice to meet monthly with the local minister to discuss issues in his own life and any concerns he might have concerning the local fraternity. Once an issue was mentioned, Conrad would never bring the matter up again.

With smaller novitiate classes, it became necessary to move Conrad to Crown Point for the care he needed. It was there that he peacefully and quietly fell asleep in the Lord aged 74, after 38 years of religious life. Conrad is buried in Huntington.
