Conrad Arthur Lemay

The world lost a true character when Conrad A. Lemay passed away unexpectedly in Bradenton, FL on Monday, September 28, 2020 shortly after his 87th birthday. Conrad loved life and lived many good years despite being severely disabled by crippling arthritis in his late thirties. Prior to retiring to a life of traveling the circuit in his Airstream from New Bedford to Las Vegas to Homestead, FL and back to New Bedford, he owned and operated Conrad’s Barber Shop on Ashley Boulevard for many years. He ultimately settled at Bayshore II in Bradenton, FL where he made many good friends in his 20+ years there, spending hours exercising in the pool. Conrad was a very social man who enjoyed playing cards, a Rob Roy with a twist, and classic movies, particularly those featuring Judy Garland. He was never one to turn up a chance to enjoy a clamboil or any Chinese food favorites. His favorite days were spent splitting a donut with his best friend, his brother Gerry, at Ma’s Donuts followed by an excursion to Best Buy to check out the latest electronic gadgets.

Conrad was born in New Bedford, MA the youngest child of Arthur and Laura (Gendron) Lemay. He is survived by his daughter and son-in-law, Alan & Simonne Coutinho of Dartmouth, his son Robert C. Lemay of Ventura, CA and his former wife Claudette (Marcoux) Lemay, also of Ventura, CA. He leaves behind his granddaughter, Melissa Lemay and great-grandson Evan as well as seven nieces and three nephews. He was predeceased by his siblings: Loretta Gallant, Doris Filiault and Gerald Lemay.

A graveside service will be held on Thursday, December 10, 2020 at 10:30AM in River-Side Cemetery, 274 Main St. Fairhaven. For on-line tributes, please visit our website at www.rock-funeralhome.com
