Conrad Jacob Lauck

Conrad J. Lauck, 58, passed away peacefully on November 27, 2011 at Manor Care Health Services in Topeka, Kansas. He was born July 18, 1953 in Greeley, Colorado the son of Henry F. and Lorraine R. (Brittian) Lauck. He attended school in Greeley. Conrad was an over the road truck driver for many years. He had traveled to every state in the union except Alaska and Hawaii.
After he lost his eyesight, he enjoyed listening to television and a wide variety of music, visiting with his friends, drinking dark roast coffee and "coca-cola." He earned a ham radio license and belonged to a ham radio club. He felt very useful to truck drivers and their families, especially in the winter months. If a trucker got stranded, he could contact Conrad and in turn Conrad would telephone their family with the much appreciated message that their driver was "OK" and would be home as soon as possible.
Conrad lived at Landmark Plaza apartments with the help of several personal care assistants until he had to move to Manor Care due to Multiple Sclerosis. He made many at both locations. He will be sadly missed by his friends, family and the staff at both facilities. His jokes and laughter always brought joy to those around him.
Conrad is survived by his mother, Lorraine Slemp, Greeley, CO; daughter, Brooke Renfroe, Oroville, WA; 4 grandchildren; sister, Jentry (Jack) McNeese, Pierce, CO; 2 brothers, Henry (Lola) Lauck and Fred (Daisy) Lauck, both of Greeley, CO; several nieces and nephews; and his two best friends, Nancy D. May and Mark Kauffman, both of Topeka. He was preceded in death by his father and step-father, Ralph Slemp.
A private service and scattering of his ashes will be in the mountains of Colorado. He will always be missed and loved.
Blessed are they that mourn: for they will be comforted. Matthew 5:4
