DANIEL NORMAN CONWAY, 80, of Shreveport, LA,
passed away in Feb. of 2009, with burial at Forest
Park Cemetery.
He was not a well-known man, but you would have liked
to have known him well. Dad was born in Ranger, TX on
Sept. 7, 1928. He graduated from Ranger High School
in 1945 and Texas Tech in 1950. He served in the U.S.
Army and Army Reserve from 1946 until his Honorable
Discharge in 1954. He used to fly in the Civil Air
Patrol when leather caps and goggles were still all
the rage.
In 1965, he moved our family to Shreveport. Dad spent
many years working at Bill Hanna Ford and Mid-South
Fleet Leasing. Our house was in the Broadmoor Terrace
subdivision of Shreveport and after all these years
my son Matt and his wife, Erica, have taken over the
old family residence. It's there he taught me many
of my life lessons: the value of hard work, what it
means to be an entrepreneur and take time to enjoy
your life. My father was a good man and I'll miss
him deeply.
He was preceded in death by his beloved wife of 12
years, Velda Conway, son, William Brent Conway,and
daughter, Kay Conway Hall. He is survived his son,
Norman Conway and wife, Debbie; grandsons, Mathew
(wife Erica) and Arin Conway along with his four
step-children and grandchildren, Freda White (Alicia
White), Cora Brakhage and Dale (Eric and Athena),
Diane Dueease (Julia and Emily) and Edward Brasher;
his sister, Marie Conway Sherman (RHS-1940); and his
brother-in-law, Nelson Fairbanks (wife Anita).
