Conlon, who celebrated his 61 years of marriage with his wife, Grace Conlon, was a devoted father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. His family was the heart of his life, and he took immense pride in their achievements, attending countless sports events and milestones throughout their lives.

Born on February 11, 1942, Conlon was educated in the Lowell Public Schools and began his professional journey as an apprentice at the Courier Citizen Company.

His legacy continues through his children, including Christine LaBrecque and William Conlon, as well as his grandchildren, who include Anthony LaBrecque and his wife, and Meaghan Staab with her husband. He was also a proud great-grandfather to four and was eagerly anticipating the arrival of a new family member, Baby Cooper, expected in May 2026.

Visitation services will be held on February 15, 2026, from 2 PM to 4 PM at the DRACUT FUNERAL HOME, followed by a funeral service at 4 PM. A memorial service is planned for mid-March at Saint Michael’s Church in Lowell, with further details to be announced.
