So sad to hear of Condon’s passing. Condon was a great mentor and simply made life fun. Totally dedicated to his family and career.

We are very sorry for your loss.  We have some good memories of living beside Condon and Jackie in the married student’s trailer park at ETSU

I remember Megan would call him uncle Conkey before she could say Condon. He will be greatly missed. Love you all. Brandy, Eric and Family along with Mikey and family.

To Eddie's family, so sorry for your loss.  He and I grew up together in the same community in what was then West Knoxville and his family was customers of our community store,  Caton's Grocery.  Eddie was always kind, had a broad smile and a friendly greeting for everyone.  Although our paths have not crossed in many years, I have many pleasant recollections of him and his family.  My deepest condolences are extended to all of you in your loss.

What is remembered most about someone when they pass away is how they made you feel.  Condon had a gift for making others feel important.  I've never known him to look down on anyone.  Emerson once said "A friend may very well be reckoned a masterpiece of nature."  Rest in peace Condon and thanks for being my friend.  My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

Condon was a High School friend.  In my freshman year, I seat next to him in study hall and we became good friends. I also went to ESTU and was in Viet Nam the same time Condon was.  When I worked for 3M I would see him @ TVA and he was always upbeat and when out of his way to talk.  I've been blessed to know him and thankful too.

I will be praying for the family and I know Condon in the presents of our Lord and Savior.
