Conrad F. Stenglein, Jr., (73), of Pine Bush, New York, was
unexpectedly carried away by the angels on February 17,
2023. Conrad was born to Conrad Sr. and Estelle on August
16, 1949, in Newburgh, New York. He was a rural Renaissance
man, who became a talented artist, steel fabricator,
handyman, writer, humanitarian, and lover of animals. It was
often said that if Conrad couldn't fix something, then no
one could. He was a proud father and doting husband who
enjoyed fishing, tinkering, motorcycles, and military
history. In his later years, he took a burgeoning interest
in pyrotechnics. Conrad volunteered his time as an assistant
Boy Scout leader, and provided his expertise to businesses
including Orange County Iron Works, Orange County Choppers,
Polich Tallix, and the Motorcyclepedia Museum. After 40
years of marriage, Conrad will remain an irreplaceable part
of the heart of his wife, Marcella. He will be remembered
lovingly by their son, Conrad III, their daughter, Katherine
Leahy, and her husband Michael. His two daughters, Barbara
Ann Gambino and her husband Tom, and Karen Dubose and her
husband Tim, along with his grandchildren Taylor, Alec, and
Jack will also cherish their memories of him. Conrad is also
mourned by his brother-in-law, James McGinty and his
daughter, Briana. He will be dearly missed by his cousins
and many friends. Conrad was predeceased by his parents,
Conrad Sr. and Estelle. Aside from his eclectic range of
passions and tireless work ethic, Conrad effortlessly
brought smiles to the hearts of others with his wry sense of
humor and charitable heart. His home and resources were
available to anyone in need, human and animal alike. He
never wavered in providing for others, even when he himself
was conquering cancer. Conrad was an unabashedly unique
individual of indomitable spirit, and he will be sorely
missed. Conrad's family will host his funeral on Sunday,
February 26, 2023. The viewing will take place from 2:00 to
4:30PM, and the service will take place promptly at 4:30PM.
His funeral will be at the William M. Gagan Funeral Home in
Pine Bush. For those unable to attend the service in person,
