Grant G. Conley

Grant G. Conley, 60, of Ashland, died December 2, 2015 at his home after a three year battle with prostate cancer.

He was born in Natick, MA on September 17, 1955 to Grant "Bill" and Elizabeth "Betty" (Perry) Conley. He graduated from Manchester Central High School in 1974 and lived in New Hampshire for nearly his entire life.

Grant spent his career as a salesman, technician and entrepreneur in the commercial audio & video industry. Committed to playing equally as hard as he worked, Grant loved fishing on Squam Lake, hunting on Ragged Mountain, cooking meals for his family, riding his motorcycle, and relaxing in the company of his many loyal friends. He will be remembered as caring, humble and resilient, maintaining a "glass half full" attitude and a keen sense of humor through his final days.

Grant is survived by his loving wife of three years, Kathleen A. (Campbell) McCarthy of Ashland; three children, Nathaniel Conley of Manchester, Juliana Conley of Santa Fe, NM and Corinne Conley of Boston, MA; a step son, Michael McCarthy of Gloucester, MA; two step grandchildren, Frances and Eloise; two sisters, Miriam Fishman of Silver Spring, MD and Perry Conley of Amherst, MA; and aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews.

A memorial service was held on Monday, December 7, 2015 at Lambert Funeral Home & Crematory, 1799 Elm St., Manchester.
