William (Bill) Conn Jr., 65, entered into heaven to be reunited with his loved ones on August 10, 2022, at Vassar Brothers Medical Center. A lifelong Hyde Park resident, Bill was proud of his hometown and especially its rich history. He was a communicant of St. Peter's Church, Hyde Park. Born March 31, 1957, Bill was the son of Irene (Nowik) Conn and William J. Conn Sr. He was educated in Hyde Park Schools and by the brothers at the former Marist Seminary. Bill was self-employed as a stone mason and granite fabricator. Mr. Conn was a proud veteran of the United States Army and member of American Legion Post #124 in Marlboro. He never missed an occasion to celebrate or honor our veterans. Bill is survived by his longtime companion, Pam Tracey; sister, Laura (Roger) Dennison; nephew, Ryan Dennison; brother, Tim (Sue) Conn; and several first and second cousins. He had a special bond with his cousins, Adela Nowik-Ronsani, Anthony Ronsani, Rachel Ron- sani, Janice Walz, and Adam Nowik Jr. Bill was one-in-a-million and quite a character and will be missed by all who knew him, especially his friends at the Eveready Diner in Hyde Park, where he could often be found holding court. There are no calling hours. Graveside services and burial will be at 1PM, Monday, August 15th at St. Joseph's Cemetery, Poughkeepsie. In lieu of flowers, Bill's family respectfully re- quests memorial donations to your local veterans' organization or the Dutchess County SPCA, 636 Violet Ave., Hyde Park, NY 12538.
