He is also survived by his brother Edward Conway. He is preceded in death by his brother Al Conway, sisters Ann Walton and Mary Jane Conway, and his son Douglas Bell.

In addition to being devoted to his family, Bob was passionate about youth sports and coached many young men for over the course of thirty-five years. To many he is and will always be “Coach”.
