Placida - Rodney C. Conrow (Rod) of Placida, FL and Rock Hill, NY passed away on October 15, 2024 at Tidewell Hospice House in Florida after a lengthy illness. He was the son of the late Clayton Conrow and Audrey Vandermark Conrow. Rod was born in Deposit, NY on Thanksgiving Day, November 25, 1943 and always said he was the Thanksgiving Turkey. He was 80 years.

Rod was a graduate of the Roscoe School District and the NY Stenotype Institute. He began his career of 45 years as an Independent Court Reporter and worked in Courthouses and law offices throughout New York State, always enjoying the different challenges of each day and new friends and acquaintances he met along the way. He could brighten any room with his smile and quick humor.

Formerly a resident of Parksville, NY for many years, he became a snowbird and retired to SW Florida where he enjoyed years of boating, pickleball, antique car shows and good times with many friends. When in NY he attended as many of his grandchildren's sporting events as possible, never wanting to miss one.
