    Loren was obviously a tremendous athlete. He was superior in any sport he participated in and always gave it his best efforts. He was a mentor for many teammates including me.. He was a natural born leader having
    those high quality skills few people fully understand. He always remained positive even when the odds were not in his favor. Those characteristics were all superior but his greatest was, thinking of others first. He accepted everyone as an equal and above all else as a friend. The Cisne High School Class of 1962 was well represented with Loren at the helm. He represented his peers with class and kindness. Loren Conard was a true gentleman. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
    May God grant comfort and strength to the family during these difficult times.
