About the Mission:

The family of Richard W. Conaway Sr has requested PGR Members to stand in honor of his service. Richard passed away suddenly July 30, 2022, at the age of 75.

Born in Lyons, NY, Dick served his country in Germany and became a combat veteran in Vietnam, over a quarter flip. He was a member of the Lyons fire department, and Lyons VFW, where he served as commander for several years. He retired from Silgan Containers in Lyons with 30 years of service. His smile and loving demeanor will be greatly missed by many.
