Clyde Wilson Conrad

Clyde Wilson Conrad, Jr., 87, of Andover, passed away peacefully at his home on Sunday, October 26, 2025.

Born on August 28, 1938, in Hartford, Connecticut, he was the son of the late Clyde W. Conrad, Sr. and Lillian (Hiltz) Conrad.

Clyde was a hardworking and successful businessman throughout his life, known for his determination and entrepreneurial spirit.
