Jim was born in Kansas City, MO on May 22nd 1932 to parents, Mary Elizabeth and Leonard Anthony Conrick. He attended grade school, high school and college in the city. He was a three-year veteran of the United States Coast Guard during the Korean Conflict. Employment consisted of Accountant with Sinclair Refining Company for twelve years, where he met his future wife, Janice; and Vice President and Controller for Columbia Glass and Window Company for thirty-two years. After retirement in 1998, Jim enjoyed traveling and many hobbies with the extra time. Many Lillis High School, Coast Guard, business and neighbor friendships were retained through his lifetime. Nothing was more important to Jim than his loving wife, Janice and his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, as they were his life.
