O'Malley led a changing Brunswick Updated Jan 12, 2019;Posted Sep 15, 2010 Mayor Charles M. "Chuck" O'Malley led Brunswick during a swing in demographics and governance. He died unexpectedly at his home there on Sept. 9 at age 77.During his last year in office, the city's first charter gave many of O'Malley's duties to the first city manager, Robert "Skip" Trimble. "There was no animosity," said Trimble. "When I came in, he accepted the form of government and helped me... He was a very gracious man, always concerned about the city first." O'Malley was raised in Cleveland and graduated from John Marshall High School. He spent 42 years as an electrician in the Flats for Republic and later LTV Steel. He was also a Naval reservist.About 1958, he moved to Medina County and Brunswick, then a sleepy village with partisan elections and no charter. The mayor led the executive branch and could veto council bills. The residents were mostly blue-collar and Democratic, but prone to political in-fighting. Soon a housing boom began to draw a new faction: white-collar Republicans from Cuyahoga County. In 1961, O'Malley was appointed to a vacancy on council. He won a full two-year term the next year. He later became zoning chairman but stepped down in 1965 while running for mayor. He told The Plain Dealer, "The administration does not want to cooperate, but intends in every way to make the board a political shooting gallery as long as I am chair." O'Malley lost the race but rejoined council in 1967 and soon became its president. He held the mayor's job from 1971 to 1975. He struggled with debt, political feuds, recall petitions and a strike in the service department. But he was proud of a $6.2 million road program and a new municipal complex, opened on July 4, 1974. The next year, he lost a bid for re-election in a nonpartisan race under the charter.O'Malley belonged to the Democratic executive committee of Medina County. He golfed and volunteered with nonprofits, including the Kidney Foundation, Knights of Columbus and St. Ambrose Holy Name Society. He also belonged to several statewide RV clubs, whose members gathered by the hundreds or more. He served one of the groups as state electrician, taking charge of hooking up the RVs for power. He wintered in Mission, Texas. He outlived his first wife, Marilyn, and was outlived by his second, the former June Marie Straw. Other survivors include four children, six grandchildren and a great-grandchild. Carlson Funeral Homes handled his arrangements. -- Charles M.

Other survivors include four children, six grandchildren and a great-grandchild. Carlson Funeral Homes handled his arrangements. -- | O'Malley, Charles M (I7464)

| 216 | Charles retired this year from his professorship at Loyola University Chicago Law School. Charlie has been associated with Loyola most of his adult life, graduating with a BS in Political Science in 1953 then going on to get his JD in 1956, finishing number two in his class. After three years as an assistant US attorney, Charlie entered private practice in 1961 with Morgan, Halligan and Lanoff. In 1964 Charlie returned to Loyola as an assistant professor and was named Assistant Dean in 1965. In 1966, Charlie took a position with The University of Missouri at Kansas City as an Associate Professor, making Full Professor and Associate Dean in 1968. In 1970 Loyola called Charlie back home, naming him Dean of the Law School, a position he held for five years. In 1975, Charlie returned to teaching full time. In 1979-80 Charlie took a leave from Loyola and entered private practice. In 1980, he returned to Loyola and has been a Full Professor there ever since. In that time, Charlie became a Billy Martin like figure, taking over as Acting Dean on two occasions first in 1983 and then again in 1997-98, but he never chewed tobacco nor drove a pickup truck. In addition to his tenure at Loyola, Charlie has been a practicing lawyer, specializing in appellate briefs. (He also used to tell his children stories of his adventures in the FBI, but a great deal of doubt has arisen in recent years as to the veracity of these accounts.) In retirement, Charlie continues to work as a lawyer and teaches about one course a year as Professor Emeritus at Loyola. Charlie is an Oak Park native, having graduated from Oak Park River Forest High School in 1949. Charlie, who was known as Ray or Raym back then, just attended his fiftieth high school reunion and reported that "no one had changed a bit." Okay, maybe a little bit... Charlie entered the Lane family in 1960 when he married Sheila Lane on the day after Christmas. On that same evening, in the bar of the Drake Hotel, the wedding night venue of choice in those days, he spilled a Grasshopper in Sheila's lap. Weeks later Sheila retaliated by dumping a bottle of Roka Roquefort flavored dressing on his head during courtship... Charlie is known by family members and professionally colleagues alike for his integrity, intelligence and a great sense of humor. But, be warned, Charlie is a punster. Charlie is also a big White Sox fan, so don't diss Big Frank around him. Charlie has suffered through many horrible seasons with the Sox, including 1976 when he had season tickets for a team that lost 100 games and wore short pants. Hence, the sense of humor.

In addition to his tenure at Loyola, Charlie has been a practicing lawyer, specializing in appellate briefs. (He also used to tell his children stories of his adventures in the FBI, but a great deal of doubt has arisen in recent years as to the veracity of these accounts.) In retirement, Charlie continues to work as a lawyer and teaches about one course a year as Professor Emeritus at Loyola. Charlie is an Oak Park native, having graduated from Oak Park River Forest High School in 1949. Charlie, who was known as Ray or Raym back then, just attended his fiftieth high school reunion and reported that "no one had changed a bit." Okay, maybe a little bit... Charlie entered the Lane family in 1960 when he married Sheila Lane on the day after Christmas. On that same evening, in the bar of the Drake Hotel, the wedding night venue of choice in those days, he spilled a Grasshopper in Sheila's lap. Weeks later Sheila retaliated by dumping a bottle of Roka Roquefort flavored dressing on his head during courtship... Charlie is known by family members and professionally colleagues alike for his integrity, intelligence and a great sense of humor. But, be warned, Charlie is a punster. Charlie is also a big White Sox fan, so don't diss Big Frank around him. Charlie has suffered through many horrible seasons with the Sox, including 1976 when he had season tickets for a team that lost 100 games and wore short pants. Hence, the sense of humor. (July 2000) Charles retired this year from his professorship at Loyola University Chicago Law School. Charlie has been associated with Loyola most of his adult life, graduating with a BS in Political Science in 1953 then going on to get his JD in 1956, finishing number two in his class. After three years as an assistant US attorney, Charlie entered private practice in 1961 with Morgan, Halligan and Lanoff. In 1964 Charlie returned to Loyola as an assistant professor and was named Assistant Dean in 1965. In 1966, Charlie took a position with The University of Missouri at Kansas City as an Associate Professor, making Full Professor and Associate Dean in 1968. In 1970 Loyola called Charlie back home, naming him Dean of the Law School, a position he held for five years. In 1975, Charlie returned to teaching full time.

Spoeri, 45, an attorney and a former assistant Illinois attorney general who specialized in consumer rights, died Thursday in Long Beach, Calif., of complications from leukemia. Mr. Spoeri graduated from Marquette University in 1974 and Loyola University Law School in 1977. His legal career began with work on consumer rights cases in the Illinois attorney general's office, where he was employed from 1977 to 1986, in Springfield and Chicago. In a case he argued before the Illinois Supreme Court, Mr. Spoeri helped establish a legal precedent that gave the attorney general's office the power to draw up "substantive" rules to protect consumers. In the late 1980s, Mr. Spoeri had his own law practice in Chicago, specializing in class-action law-suits for consumers. he moved to California in 1989, but he missed his consumer advocacy work, said his brother Robert. "He felt very strongly about what he was doing. It was a calling to help the ordinary people of the world, the consumers," said Robert Spoeri. Other survivors include his wife, Darlene Legenski; his mother Rosemary; two brothers; and a sister. Visitation will be from 2 to 9 p.m. Sunday in Maloney Funeral Home, 1359 W. Devon Ave., Chicago. Mass will be said at 10 a.m. Monday in St. Margaret Mary Catholic Curch, 2324 W. Chase Ave., Chicago. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------ James Clement Spoeri: was named for his great-grandfather James Lavery and his grandfather Clem Lane; both of whom died in the prime of life. He studied political science and history at Marquette University in Milwaukee and graduated with honors. He led his intramural team at Marquette to a school wide championship in basketball. He studied law at Exeter, England in 1976 and graduated from Loyola Law School in Chicago in 1977. He became a practicing attorney in the consumer law field and successfully argued a case before the Illinois Supreme court advancing the rights of Illinois consumers. He became the chief of litigation at the Consumer Protection Division of the Illinois Attorney General's Office. The happiest moment of his life was when he married Darlene Legenski in 1990. They moved from Chicago to Long Beach, California, where he practiced law in the worker's compensation defense field. Jim was quite accomplished as an athlete and had a very intense competitive spirit. He enjoyed basketball, football, hiking, racquetball and white water rafting.

| 249 | Conrad Christopher Strecker was born January 26, 1861 in Helmsdorf, Germany (the region which was then called Prussia). He came to Independence, Kansas in his early years. He married Katherine on June 1, 1886 and they had several children. . Seven years later, and anticipating the long run into the Cherokee Strip opening of 1893, at Caldwell, Kansas. Conrad Strecker checked the horse shoes of Danny, the horse he would ride when the gun signalled. As the horse shoes were fashioned and shod from his own blacksmith shop in Independence, Kansas, they rode straight through to the location of Pond Creek lots--the main street then was a block south of the now Main Street, soon setting up a Blacksmith Shop and Hardware. Katherine and her boys, Ally and Herbert, joined Conrad in Pond Creek to make their home at the north edge. A third son, Owen was born 8 Jun 1894 and was one of the first children born in Pond Creek. A fourth son, Frank, was born 20 Mar 1897, and a fifth son, Carl, was born 7 Dec 1901. William Edgar was born on 08 May 1909 and they became known as "Strecker's Six Sons". . As the change-over to the now Main Street came about, Strecker built and opened a Hardware Store. The building, which bore his name at the top, stood until about the 60s or 70s. The horse shoes hung over the front door of the store. Supplying homesteaders with needed implements--wagons, etc--the first buggy, with carriage lights, was bought by Gust Johnson, but first used by the Strecker's for [the sad conveyance to the cemetery of] their infant daughter. The cemetery land was given to Pond Creek by Strecker and lots were marked off by Mrs. Strecker's sister, Margaret O'Callaghan, nurse and hospital superintendent of Independence, Kansas.. The early years were prosperous and he bought controlling stock of the First State Bank at Breckenridge and Goltry. Through this period he acquired eight quarters of land in Grant County, which he later deeded to his sons. Both Katherine and Conrad were proud of home and family. Their new home was built on East Main Street. Strecker also had a land and merchandise business in Conrad, Montana. . In 1903, they took time for a trip to Europe, so Conrad could show Kate his former home [in Germany]. They visited the Vatican and their friend, Father Murphy, who had been a guest many times at the Strecker home. Katherine, being a very devout Catholic, gave much to Catholic Church Building Funds [St Joseph's Parish, Pond Creek?] and donated the organ selected by Dave Parkinson, a fine musician of Pond Creek. . July 1922 marked the passing of Conrad and as they had moved to Wichita, Kansas after his retirement from the banking business, he is buried in lots purchased at Wichita Cemetery on Kellogg Street (having purchased lots for eight). He and Kate, who passed away at the Oklahoma City Hospital on 18 Feb 1951, are at rest together there. As though an era has ended with Carl, the last of the six sons, died 13 May 1979. Carl is the only son to be buried at the Pond Creek Cemetery on the land his father gave. ---------------------- New Railroad Chartered A charter was issued from the territorial secretary’s office this morning to the St. Louis, Bartesville and Pacific Railroad company, with $1,200,000 capital stock.

The early years were prosperous and he bought controlling stock of the First State Bank at Breckenridge and Goltry. Through this period he acquired eight quarters of land in Grant County, which he later deeded to his sons. Both Katherine and Conrad were proud of home and family. Their new home was built on East Main Street. Strecker also had a land and merchandise business in Conrad, Montana. . In 1903, they took time for a trip to Europe, so Conrad could show Kate his former home [in Germany]. They visited the Vatican and their friend, Father Murphy, who had been a guest many times at the Strecker home. Katherine, being a very devout Catholic, gave much to Catholic Church Building Funds [St Joseph's Parish, Pond Creek?] and donated the organ selected by Dave Parkinson, a fine musician of Pond Creek. . July 1922 marked the passing of Conrad and as they had moved to Wichita, Kansas after his retirement from the banking business, he is buried in lots purchased at Wichita Cemetery on Kellogg Street (having purchased lots for eight). He and Kate, who passed away at the Oklahoma City Hospital on 18 Feb 1951, are at rest together there. As though an era has ended with Carl, the last of the six sons, died 13 May 1979.

Kyran enlisted in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in June 1942 after the attack on Pearl Harbor. He went to Fort Sheridan, Illinois for three days where he took tests and had his hair shaved off. He then went onto Officer Candidate School at Fort Sill, Oklahoma for three months. He was in the School of Fire. In December 1942, he was commissioned as 2nd LT and assigned to 258th Field Artillery Battalion at Pine Camp, NY. The 258th is one of the oldest regiments in the US Army. They were known as the Washington Greys and were located at the Kings Bridge Armory on 7th Avenue in Manhattan which was the largest armory in the United States at the time. The 258th marched in President Washington s inaugural parade in New York City. The unit's emblem is the Washington family crest in reverse. Teddy Roosevelt was a member of this unit at one time. They fought in the war of 1812, at Gettysburg, Peninsula, Bull Run in the Civil War and during World War I at Lorraine. The 258th spent one year of training in the United States, including Tennessee and West Virginia, before going to Europe . The 258th sailed out of New York City on the Queen Mary in the first week of January 1944. There were 10,000 soldiers on board. Two of them were lost overboard but the Queen couldn't stop to look for them. They changed course every half hour because of the threat of German U-boats. The Queen Mary didn't have any escort because it was the fastest ship afloat. They landed in Scotland at the Birth of Cly and were greeted by George C. Patton wearing his pearl handled pistols. The 258th was billeted in and around Liverpool in private homes initially. Later they were billeted at the estate of Lord and Lady Darby just outside Liverpool. They stayed there for three weeks to a month. Uncle Kyran visited some of the pubs in Liverpool. This was several years prior to the Beatles playing at them. After that they were stationed in Wales at Ludlow. Kyran embarked from Plymouth for the continent after the D Day landing beaches were cleared. He finally landed on Utah Beach in Normandy on the first of July. What he saw has stayed with him All those dead bodies lined up on the beach. The 258th had 155 mm self propelled rifles. These were capable of firing up to eleven miles with pin point accuracy. Kyran was an air observer and the Executive Officer of Battery A. As an air observer, he identified targets for the artillery. He flew in a light air plane. a Piper Cub, and would spot targets and radio the location to artillery headquarters. He would then view the hits and adjust the targeting based on his observations. In order to do this, they had to fly at a low altitude. They could be shot at with rifles. The units first casualty was Marty MacIntire who was a pilot that was shot in the foot while flying a mission. Phillip Heath was Uncle Kyran's pilot. One time, Kyran was dropped in front of the lines, "up a ways". The Germans were supposedly beyond that point. Phil left Kyran to pick some one else up. Before he returned, the Germans came back up the road. Kyran was sitting in the middle of the field and had to spend the night lying flat in the wheat while the Germans marched out "but they finally went away and it worked all right." Phillip Heath had to parachute from his plane after dropping Kyran at the front. He was shot down and badly burned, captured by Germans, taken to a hospital in Paris and after Paris was liberated, he was reunited with Allies. In July 1944--two whole divisions were killed by friendly fire. Kyran was in the air, watching bombs drop on American soldiers. I thought I was well behind the lines and he was. About two divisions were killed by our own air corp. This has never been exposed. It occurred before the breakout from Normandy (This bothered him very much.) When they got to the Rhine river, they used their guns at pin point range to knock out pill boxes across the Rhine. They were bombed several times. The 258th eventually met the Russians on the Elbe River in Magdenburg, Germany in May 1945. They were held back so that the Russians could take Berlin. After the fighting was finished, the 258th was sent to Castle, Germany to manage a displaced persons camp. There were 8,000 people that needed to be transported to Russia, Poland, France and Belgium. This was in April, 1945. Kyran's Colonel was Bradford B. Butler, the youngest Colonel in the Army at one time. He was able to visit Burgesgarden to see the concentration camps. Kyran also served as the Assistant to the Port Commander at Marseilles. Kyran sailed home in October 1945, out of Marseilles, France-- it was not the Queen Mary. This was a disappointment (can you hear his tone of voice saying this???) The trip took 12 days. He landed in New York City or New Jersey. When I went over I had my own state room. I shared a state room with 6 others on return. Of course, like most returning soldiers he was very anxious to return home. He went directly home by train. He wasn't in any of the parades. Kyran received the Bronze Star for action when they were being shelled. "A Corporal was hit and I ran and got him out. He was a guy that used to cut my hair, that was why he was so important (again, can you hear his tone of voice, very deferential, deflecting attention from himself) I can t remember his name." Headquarters XIX Corps Office of the Commanding General 9 July 1945 Award of the Bronze Star Medal Citation: First Lieutenant Kyran P. Conarchy, Jr. (Army Serial Number 01174809), Field Artillery, 258th Field Artillery Battalion, United States Army, is awarded the Bronze Star Medal for heroic achievement in Germany, on 2 March 1945, in connection with military operations against the enemy. When an enemy artillery shell burst in his area, disrupting communications, and causing a casualty, First Lieutenant Conarchy immediately removed the wounded man to a place of safety in spite of continued enemy fire in the area. After insuring aid was given to the wounded man, First Lieutenant Conarchy assumed his battery's operations, establishing a voice communications link in lieu of the severed communications lines, and skillfully led his battery to complete their vitally important fire mission in face of enemy fire. The courage, skillful leadership, and determined devotion to duty displayed by First Lieutenant Conarchy reflect the highest credit upon himself and the Military Service. He also was awarded an Air Medal and the Distinguished Flying Cross with Oak Leaf Cluster. This is unusual for some one not in the air corp. Kyran was s Treasury agent and Vice-President Glencoe National Bank. He retired from the Harris Bank Glencoe on June 30, 1998 after 39 years of service. ------------------------------------------ Elect Conarchy to Cashier Post Kyran P.

Uncle Kyran was born May 18, 1921 to Kyran Patrick Joseph Aloyisus and Jane Mary Conarchy in Chicago and was the third oldest of 7 children. He, his brothers and sisters were raised by loving Irish Catholic parents where you were expected to live a faithful life committed to Christ and one another and as long as you did your best, you had no regrets. In 92 wonderful years, here are some of highlights, accomplishments and special memories of Uncle Kyran's life, some of which were shared at Uncle Kyran's 90th birthday party: Served in World War II as an Executive Officer and laid in the bottom of a cockpit of a Piper cub and mapped bombing targets in Normandy prior to D-Day and was awarded 4 medals including a Bronze Star for saving a fellow soldier who was injured and then returned to the battle where he lead his troops to victory over the enemy. When his parents were in failing health, he loving took loving care of them at home for many years along with his sister, Lois. Uncle to 42 nieces and nephews, 88 grand nieces and nephews, 56 great grandnieces and nephews who loving called him “Uncle Goodness" for his many kind and loving deeds including sending a birthday card with a check on their birthday when we were children. VP at Harris Bank at Glencoe-Northbrook branch for 39 years where colleagues fondly referred to him as "KC". A parishioner here at Immaculate Conception for over 60 years where he attended daily mass, was a lector, taught religious education, member of the theology in literature book club and Saturday morning men’s group. Outside of church, he was a member of the ROMEO group After Uncle Bob passed away, he wore his suit to every wedding involving an O'Brien family member in memory of him (Jennifer Henningfeld). From marriages, baptisms, first communions, baby showers and everything in between, you have been there for our family (Peggy Hammil). Christmas Eve has always and always will remind me of my exceptional Uncle Kyran-always so generous, kind and witty (Sheila Shrofe) There was a hurricane the night I was to travel to Chicago and my flight was delayed but I do recall Kyran was at the airport to pick me up. I will offer Mass for Kyran here in Brazil on Saturday (today). It will be to thank God for Kyran’s life and for the great love he shared, especially with his family (Bishop Derek Byrne) You have been a second father to me (Bob O'Brien) The consummate gentleman who taught us kindness and caring and kept us close to our grandparents (Bob Weithofer) I love you, we have cool names, thanks for the names (Kyran Weithofer, Jr) Uncle Kyran and Aunt Lois took Mary, Bridget and I to the "big city" of Chicago and we were amazed at all the tall buildings and it must of been obvious it was our first time in Chicago as a construction worker commented "Are you a bunch of farmers?" (Jane Conarchy) We went on a trip to Colorado with Uncle Kyran and on the drive out I got the hiccups for what seemed like an hour and he informed me he had heard someone had died from hiccups. Despite the warning, it did not cure my condition (Kyran P. Conarchy III) We would take the bus around Honolulu and the island of Oahu each day. The senior fare for the whole day was 50 cents. We had a grand time visiting. You are such a blessing to all your family and friends (My Mom, Ann Hunter) In most families an uncle-in-law is not a significant force. You have been a great influence on me and my family (Michelle Hunter) You are so much fun to be around and make everyone's day better (Joey Russel) Walking with Uncle Kyran through the beautiful botanical gardens in Highland Park on a cold clear day shortly after Christmas. His favorite place to walk and one could easily understand why. That is one of the ways he survived and stayed so fit (Dan O’Brien) Thank you for all you have done for Jack and my children (Aunt Jane Conarchy) My godfather, my uncle, a little bit of my dad, my children's pseudo-grandpa. Thank you for all the time and attention you give us. You are a blessing to each if us. (Jane Longo) You are truly an inspiration to all the generations of our family (Colleen Conarchy) I was staying with Uncle Kyran and we would both get home around the same time and like clockwork he would turn on Jim Lehrer PBS News Hour. As Jim announced more government plans to intrude into public lives or matters of the Catholic Church, I could hear Uncle Kyran curse the TV as he prepared a formal dinner for us - each evening (Paul Hunter) You were a very loving son taking such good care of Mom and Dad in their last years (Aunt Lois) He was staying with us in Germany and I neglected to put a towel in the guest bath. When I knocked sheepishly to give him the towel belatedly, he sweetly said "Oh that's ok, I drip dry beautifully!" (Jane Reilly) I would like to share with you a note I wrote to Uncle Kyran on his 90th birthday: The way you live your life is a true inspiration to me. Your strong faith and living your life centered around Christ has set a great example for me in my faith journey. Your love and dedication to your parents (my grandparents), siblings, other family members and friends is unwavering and amazing. Your kindness and thoughtfulness will never be forgotten. Christ commanded "You shall love your neighbor as yourself" and you have certainly done this throughout your life. I am so fortunate and blessed to have you as my Uncle and role model. Uncle Kyran may have been a man of small stature but he had the biggest heart. I will truly miss Uncle Kyran and loved him very much but I am comforted knowing his courageous suffering has ended and he is with our Lord and his loved ones who are celebrating in Heaven with a big family reunion with brats and beer. I would be remiss if I did not recognize and thank Aunt Lois, my cousins Jane Conarchy, Bridget Fonstad, Maureen Hargarten and Colleen Conarchy, Father Ken Anderson, Father Terry McCarthy and Deacon Louie Viggnocchi, Dr. John Sultan and Hospice nurses Olga and Sandy and my dear wife, Caren, for taking such loving care of Uncle Kyran as he prepared to go to Heaven in the comfort of his home which he had lived in for 43 years. I would like to conclude, by reading from Mark Chapter 9: 35-37 which demonstrates how Uncle Kyran truly lived his life by being a servant leader. "Then he sat down, called the Twelve, and said to them, "If anyone wishes to be first, he shall be the last of all and the servant of all. Taking a child he placed it in their midst and putting his arms around it he said them, "Whoever receives one child such as this in my name, receives me; and whoever receives me, receives not me but the One who sent me". Uncle Kyran followed this teaching of Christ every day of his life by always putting others before himself and on behalf of the Conarchy Clan, we are immensely grateful for the example he set for all of us which will be carried on for generations to come. Thank you Uncle Kyran. I love you and always will. Farewell Prayer: St. Lois Conarchy, SL Sister Burial to follow at Transfiguration Cemetery Route 176 west of Fairfield Road Wauconda, Illinois A celebration of Kyran's Life will continue at Lindy's Landing 115 Park Street Wauconda, Illinois 2:00PM - 5:00PM The Conarchy Clan thanks you for your care, love and prayers. We are grateful that you joined us in this celebration of Kyran's life. Baptismal sponsors Veronica Hanley and Joseph J. Lavery. Kyran enlisted in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in June 1942 after the attack on Pearl Harbor. He went to Fort Sheridan, Illinois for three days where he took tests and had his hair shaved off. He then went onto Officer Candidate School at Fort Sill, Oklahoma for three months. He was in the School of Fire. In December 1942, he was commissioned as 2nd LT and assigned to 258th Field Artillery Battalion at Pine Camp, NY. The 258th is one of the oldest regiments in the US Army. They were known as the Washington Greys and were located at the Kings Bridge Armory on 7th Avenue in Manhattan which was the largest armory in the United States at the time. The 258th marched in President Washingtons inaugural parade in New York City. The unit's emblem is the Washington family crest in reverse. Teddy Roosevelt was a member of this unit at one time. They fought in the war of 1812, at Gettysburg, Peninsula, Bull Run in the Civil War and during World War I at Lorraine. The 258th spent one year of training in the United States, including Tennessee and West Virginia, before going to Europe . The 258th sailed out of New York City on the Queen Mary in the first week of January 1944. There were 10,000 soldiers on board. Two of them were lost overboard but the Queen couldn't stop to look for them. They changed course every half hour because of the threat of German U-boats. The Queen Mary didn't have any escort because it was the fastest ship afloat. They landed in Scotland at the Birth of Cly and were greeted by George C. Patton wearing his pearl handled pistols. The 258th was billeted in and around Liverpool in private homes initially. Later they were billeted at the estate of Lord and Lady Darby just outside Liverpool. They stayed there for three weeks to a month. Uncle Kyran visited some of the pubs in Liverpool. This was several years prior to the Beatles playing at them. After that they were stationed in Wales at Ludlow. Kyran embarked from Plymouth for the continent after the D Day landing beaches were cleared. He finally landed on Utah Beach in Normandy on the first of July. What he saw has stayed with him All those dead bodies lined up on the beach. The 258th had 155 mm self propelled rifles. These were capable of firing up to eleven miles with pin point accuracy. Kyran was an air observer and the Executive Officer of Battery A. As an air observer, he identified targets for the artillery. He flew in a light air plane. a Piper Cub, and would spot targets and radio the location to artillery headquarters. He would then view the hits and adjust the targeting based on his observations. In order to do this, they had to fly at a low altitude. They could be shot at with rifles. The units first casualty was Marty MacIntire who was a pilot that was shot in the foot while flying a mission. Phillip Heath was Uncle Kyran's pilot. One time, Kyran was dropped in front of the lines, "up a ways". The Germans were supposedly beyond that point. Phil left Kyran to pick some one else up. Before he returned, the Germans came back up the road. Kyran was sitting in the middle of the field and had to spend the night lying flat in the wheat while the Germans marched out "but they finally went away and it worked all right." Phillip Heath had to parachute from his plane after dropping Kyran at the front. He was shot down and badly burned, captured by Germans, taken to a hospital in Paris and after Paris was liberated, he was reunited with Allies. In July 1944--two whole divisions were killed by friendly fire. Kyran was in the air, watching bombs drop on American soldiers. I thought I was well behind the lines and he was. About two divisions were killed by our own air corp. This has never been exposed. It occurred before the breakout from Normandy (This bothered him very much.) When they got to the Rhine river, they used their guns at pin point range to knock out pill boxes across the Rhine. They were bombed several times. The 258th eventually met the Russians on the Elbe River in Magdenburg, Germany in May 1945. They were held back so that the Russians could take Berlin. After the fighting was finished, the 258th was sent to Castle, Germany to manage a displaced persons camp. There were 8,000 people that needed to be transported to Russia, Poland, France and Belgium. This was in April, 1945. Kyran's Colonel was Bradford B. Butler, the youngest Colonel in the Army at one time. He was able to visit Burgesgarden to see the concentration camps. Kyran also served as the Assistant to the Port Commander at Marseilles. Kyran sailed home in October 1945, out of Marseilles, France--it was not the Queen Mary. This was a disappointment (can you hear his tone of voice saying this???) The trip took 12 days. He landed in New York City or New Jersey. When I went over I had my own state room. I shared a state room with 6 others on return. Of course, like most returning soldiers he was very anxious to return home. He went directly home by train. He wasn't in any of the parades. Kyran received the Bronze Star for action when they were being shelled. "A Corporal was hit and I ran and got him out. He was a guy that used to cut my hair, that was why he was so important (again, can you hear his tone of voice, very deferential, deflecting attention from himself) I cant remember his name." Headquarters XIX Corps Office of the Commanding General 9 July 1945 Award of the Bronze Star Medal Citation: First Lieutenant Kyran P. Conarchy, Jr. (Army Serial Number 01174809), Field Artillery, 258th Field Artillery Battalion, United States Army, is awarded the Bronze Star Medal for heroic achievement in Germany, on 2 March 1945, in connection with military operations against the enemy. When an enemy artillery shell burst in his area, disrupting communications, and causing a casualty, First Lieutenant Conarchy immediately removed the wounded man to a place of safety in spite of continued enemy fire in the area. After insuring aid was given to the wounded man, First Lieutenant Conarchy assumed his battery's operations, establishing a voice communications link in lieu of the severed communications lines, and skillfully led his battery to complete their vitally important fire mission in face of enemy fire. The courage, skillful leadership, and determined devotion to duty displayed by First Lieutenant Conarchy reflect the highest credit upon himself and the Military Service. He also was awarded an Air Medal and the Distinguished Flying Cross with Oak Leaf Cluster. This is unusual for some one not in the air corp. Kyran was s Treasury agent and Vice-President Glencoe National Bank. He retired from the Harris Bank Glencoe on June 30, 1998 after 39 years of service. ------------------------------------------ Elect Conarchy to Cashier Post Kyran P.

They stayed there for three weeks to a month. Uncle Kyran visited some of the pubs in Liverpool. This was several years prior to the Beatles playing at them. After that they were stationed in Wales at Ludlow. Kyran embarked from Plymouth for the continent after the D Day landing beaches were cleared. He finally landed on Utah Beach in Normandy on the first of July. What he saw has stayed with him All those dead bodies lined up on the beach. The 258th had 155 mm self propelled rifles. These were capable of firing up to eleven miles with pin point accuracy. Kyran was an air observer and the Executive Officer of Battery A. As an air observer, he identified targets for the artillery. He flew in a light air plane. a Piper Cub, and would spot targets and radio the location to artillery headquarters. He would then view the hits and adjust the targeting based on his observations. In order to do this, they had to fly at a low altitude. They could be shot at with rifles. The units first casualty was Marty MacIntire who was a pilot that was shot in the foot while flying a mission. Phillip Heath was Uncle Kyran's pilot. One time, Kyran was dropped in front of the lines, "up a ways". The Germans were supposedly beyond that point. Phil left Kyran to pick some one else up. Before he returned, the Germans came back up the road. Kyran was sitting in the middle of the field and had to spend the night lying flat in the wheat while the Germans marched out "but they finally went away and it worked all right." Phillip Heath had to parachute from his plane after dropping Kyran at the front. He was shot down and badly burned, captured by Germans, taken to a hospital in Paris and after Paris was liberated, he was reunited with Allies. In July 1944--two whole divisions were killed by friendly fire. Kyran was in the air, watching bombs drop on American soldiers. I thought I was well behind the lines and he was. About two divisions were killed by our own air corp. This has never been exposed. It occurred before the breakout from Normandy (This bothered him very much.) When they got to the Rhine river, they used their guns at pin point range to knock out pill boxes across the Rhine. They were bombed several times. The 258th eventually met the Russians on the Elbe River in Magdenburg, Germany in May 1945. They were held back so that the Russians could take Berlin. After the fighting was finished, the 258th was sent to Castle, Germany to manage a displaced persons camp. There were 8,000 people that needed to be transported to Russia, Poland, France and Belgium. This was in April, 1945. Kyran's Colonel was Bradford B. Butler, the youngest Colonel in the Army at one time. He was able to visit Burgesgarden to see the concentration camps. Kyran also served as the Assistant to the Port Commander at Marseilles. Kyran sailed home in October 1945, out of Marseilles, France-- it was not the Queen Mary. This was a disappointment (can you hear his tone of voice saying this???) The trip took 12 days. He landed in New York City or New Jersey. When I went over I had my own state room. I shared a state room with 6 others on return. Of course, like most returning soldiers he was very anxious to return home. He went directly home by train. He wasn't in any of the parades. Kyran received the Bronze Star for action when they were being shelled. "A Corporal was hit and I ran and got him out. He was a guy that used to cut my hair, that was why he was so important (again, can you hear his tone of voice, very deferential, deflecting attention from himself) I can t remember his name." Headquarters XIX Corps Office of the Commanding General 9 July 1945 Award of the Bronze Star Medal Citation: First Lieutenant Kyran P. Conarchy, Jr. (Army Serial Number 01174809), Field Artillery, 258th Field Artillery Battalion, United States Army, is awarded the Bronze Star Medal for heroic achievement in Germany, on 2 March 1945, in connection with military operations against the enemy. When an enemy artillery shell burst in his area, disrupting communications, and causing a casualty, First Lieutenant Conarchy immediately removed the wounded man to a place of safety in spite of continued enemy fire in the area. After insuring aid was given to the wounded man, First Lieutenant Conarchy assumed his battery's operations, establishing a voice communications link in lieu of the severed communications lines, and skillfully led his battery to complete their vitally important fire mission in face of enemy fire. The courage, skillful leadership, and determined devotion to duty displayed by First Lieutenant Conarchy reflect the highest credit upon himself and the Military Service. He also was awarded an Air Medal and the Distinguished Flying Cross with Oak Leaf Cluster. This is unusual for some one not in the air corp. Kyran was s Treasury agent and Vice-President Glencoe National Bank. He retired from the Harris Bank Glencoe on June 30, 1998 after 39 years of service. ------------------------------------------ Elect Conarchy to Cashier Post Kyran P.

Uncle Kyran was born May 18, 1921 to Kyran Patrick Joseph Aloyisus and Jane Mary Conarchy in Chicago and was the third oldest of 7 children. He, his brothers and sisters were raised by loving Irish Catholic parents where you were expected to live a faithful life committed to Christ and one another and as long as you did your best, you had no regrets. In 92 wonderful years, here are some of highlights, accomplishments and special memories of Uncle Kyran's life, some of which were shared at Uncle Kyran's 90th birthday party: Served in World War II as an Executive Officer and laid in the bottom of a cockpit of a Piper cub and mapped bombing targets in Normandy prior to D-Day and was awarded 4 medals including a Bronze Star for saving a fellow soldier who was injured and then returned to the battle where he lead his troops to victory over the enemy. When his parents were in failing health, he loving took loving care of them at home for many years along with his sister, Lois. Uncle to 42 nieces and nephews, 88 grand nieces and nephews, 56 great grandnieces and nephews who loving called him ``Uncle Goodness" for his many kind and loving deeds including sending a birthday card with a check on their birthday when we were children. VP at Harris Bank at Glencoe-Northbrook branch for 39 years where colleagues fondly referred to him as "KC". A parishioner here at Immaculate Conception for over 60 years where he attended daily mass, was a lector, taught religious education, member of the theology in literature book club and Saturday morning men´s group. Outside of church, he was a member of the ROMEO group After Uncle Bob passed away, he wore his suit to every wedding involving an O'Brien family member in memory of him (Jennifer Henningfeld). From marriages, baptisms, first communions, baby showers and everything in between, you have been there for our family (Peggy Hammil). Christmas Eve has always and always will remind me of my exceptional Uncle Kyran-always so generous, kind and witty (Sheila Shrofe) There was a hurricane the night I was to travel to Chicago and my flight was delayed but I do recall Kyran was at the airport to pick me up. I will offer Mass for Kyran here in Brazil on Saturday (today). It will be to thank God for Kyran´s life and for the great love he shared, especially with his family (Bishop Derek Byrne) You have been a second father to me (Bob O'Brien) The consummate gentleman who taught us kindness and caring and kept us close to our grandparents (Bob Weithofer) I love you, we have cool names, thanks for the names (Kyran Weithofer, Jr) Uncle Kyran and Aunt Lois took Mary, Bridget and I to the "big city" of Chicago and we were amazed at all the tall buildings and it must of been obvious it was our first time in Chicago as a construction worker commented "Are you a bunch of farmers?" (Jane Conarchy) We went on a trip to Colorado with Uncle Kyran and on the drive out I got the hiccups for what seemed like an hour and he informed me he had heard someone had died from hiccups. Despite the warning, it did not cure my condition (Kyran P. Conarchy III) We would take the bus around Honolulu and the island of Oahu each day. The senior fare for the whole day was 50 cents. We had a grand time visiting. You are such a blessing to all your family and friends (My Mom, Ann Hunter) In most families an uncle-in-law is not a significant force. You have been a great influence on me and my family (Michelle Hunter) You are so much fun to be around and make everyone's day better (Joey Russel) Walking with Uncle Kyran through the beautiful botanical gardens in Highland Park on a cold clear day shortly after Christmas. His favorite place to walk and one could easily understand why. That is one of the ways he survived and stayed so fit (Dan O´Brien) Thank you for all you have done for Jack and my children (Aunt Jane Conarchy) My godfather, my uncle, a little bit of my dad, my children's pseudo-grandpa. Thank you for all the time and attention you give us. You are a blessing to each if us. (Jane Longo) You are truly an inspiration to all the generations of our family (Colleen Conarchy) I was staying with Uncle Kyran and we would both get home around the same time and like clockwork he would turn on Jim Lehrer PBS News Hour. As Jim announced more government plans to intrude into public lives or matters of the Catholic Church, I could hear Uncle Kyran curse the TV as he prepared a formal dinner for us - each evening (Paul Hunter) You were a very loving son taking such good care of Mom and Dad in their last years (Aunt Lois) He was staying with us in Germany and I neglected to put a towel in the guest bath. When I knocked sheepishly to give him the towel belatedly, he sweetly said "Oh that's ok, I drip dry beautifully!" (Jane Reilly) I would like to share with you a note I wrote to Uncle Kyran on his 90th birthday: The way you live your life is a true inspiration to me. Your strong faith and living your life centered around Christ has set a great example for me in my faith journey. Your love and dedication to your parents (my grandparents), siblings, other family members and friends is unwavering and amazing. Your kindness and thoughtfulness will never be forgotten. Christ commanded "You shall love your neighbor as yourself" and you have certainly done this throughout your life. I am so fortunate and blessed to have you as my Uncle and role model. Uncle Kyran may have been a man of small stature but he had the biggest heart. I will truly miss Uncle Kyran and loved him very much but I am comforted knowing his courageous suffering has ended and he is with our Lord and his loved ones who are celebrating in Heaven with a big family reunion with brats and beer. I would be remiss if I did not recognize and thank Aunt Lois, my cousins Jane Conarchy, Bridget Fonstad, Maureen Hargarten and Colleen Conarchy, Father Ken Anderson, Father Terry McCarthy and Deacon Louie Viggnocchi, Dr. John Sultan and Hospice nurses Olga and Sandy and my dear wife, Caren, for taking such loving care of Uncle Kyran as he prepared to go to Heaven in the comfort of his home which he had lived in for 43 years. I would like to conclude, by reading from Mark Chapter 9: 35-37 which demonstrates how Uncle Kyran truly lived his life by being a servant leader. "Then he sat down, called the Twelve, and said to them, "If anyone wishes to be first, he shall be the last of all and the servant of all. Taking a child he placed it in their midst and putting his arms around it he said them, "Whoever receives one child such as this in my name, receives me; and whoever receives me, receives not me but the One who sent me". Uncle Kyran followed this teaching of Christ every day of his life by always putting others before himself and on behalf of the Conarchy Clan, we are immensely grateful for the example he set for all of us which will be carried on for generations to come. Thank you Uncle Kyran. I love you and always will. Farewell Prayer: St. Lois Conarchy, SL Sister Burial to follow at Transfiguration Cemetery Route 176 west of Fairfield Road Wauconda, Illinois A celebration of Kyran's Life will continue at Lindy's Landing 115 Park Street Wauconda, Illinois 2:00PM - 5:00PM The Conarchy Clan thanks you for your care, love and prayers. We are grateful that you joined us in this celebration of Kyran's life. Baptismal sponsors Veronica Hanley and Joseph J. Lavery. Kyran enlisted in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in June 1942 after the attack on Pearl Harbor. He went to Fort Sheridan, Illinois for three days where he took tests and had his hair shaved off. He then went onto Officer Candidate School at Fort Sill, Oklahoma for three months. He was in the School of Fire. In December 1942, he was commissioned as 2nd LT and assigned to 258th Field Artillery Battalion at Pine Camp, NY. The 258th is one of the oldest regiments in the US Army. They were known as the Washington Greys and were located at the Kings Bridge Armory on 7th Avenue in Manhattan which was the largest armory in the United States at the time. The 258th marched in President Washingtons inaugural parade in New York City. The unit's emblem is the Washington family crest in reverse. Teddy Roosevelt was a member of this unit at one time. They fought in the war of 1812, at Gettysburg, Peninsula, Bull Run in the Civil War and during World War I at Lorraine. The 258th spent one year of training in the United States, including Tennessee and West Virginia, before going to Europe . The 258th sailed out of New York City on the Queen Mary in the first week of January 1944. There were 10,000 soldiers on board. Two of them were lost overboard but the Queen couldn't stop to look for them. They changed course every half hour because of the threat of German U-boats. The Queen Mary didn't have any escort because it was the fastest ship afloat. They landed in Scotland at the Birth of Cly and were greeted by George C. Patton wearing his pearl handled pistols. The 258th was billeted in and around Liverpool in private homes initially. Later they were billeted at the estate of Lord and Lady Darby just outside Liverpool.
