Neil J. Conway

Neil J. "Lefty" Conway, Scranton, died Sunday morning at Riverview Nursing Facility, Plains. He was the widower of Joan Ventura Conway, who died in 2003.

Born in Throop, he was the son of the late James and Leona Smith Conway. Prior to his retirement, he was a truck driver for both himself and Roadway.

He was also co-owner of Leggets Creek Sporting Goods alongside his good friend and former son-in-law, Ronald Snyder "Sonny-boy".

Surviving are two daughters, Debbie Conway and her husband Jeff Kohut of Scranton, and Colleen Weissman and her husband Christopher of Clarks Summit; two grandchildren, Matthew Weissman of Falls and Jordan Weissman of Clarks Summit; and several nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by three sisters, Geraldine (Jeannie) Biggs, Barbara Walko, and Alice Stead.
