Conrad was married on April 22, 1967 in Birmingham, AL to Rita Ann Davis.
Conrad served in the United States Navy from 1964 to 1970.

Conrad is survived by his loving wife, Rita Pitts, his daughter, Lori Dorsey, son Gerald Pitts, his granddaughter Sara Dorsey. Also surviving are a brother, Knox Pitts, and sisters Sharon Pitts and Sally Smith.
Conrad raced both motorcycles and cars, and was a lifetime avid lover of both.
When he reached an age where he had to park the motorcycle, he threw himself into the world of Mini Cooper culture and belonged to / held service positions with Appalachian Mountain and Upstate Mini clubs.
Conrad loved his wife Rita dearly, and the two have always been inseparable. They traveled to almost all 50 states post-retirement except for Michigan, Alaska, and Hawaii in a truck camper. He always supported every endeavor of both of his children, and attended every play, recital, or game. His grandchild, Sara was the light of his life. He loved to brag about her dancing competitions or volleyball games.
