Deepest Condolences

It is with great sorrow that the Town of Deseronto acknowledges the passing of our employee and friend, Andy Conger. We extend our deepest condolences to his wife Julie, his children Peyton, Landon & Hudson, his mother Ann and his siblings Mike & Tracey.

Andy spent many years working and volunteering for the Town, whether it be as a Firefighter, Arena Manager or Sports Enthusiast. He was always there to assist in any way that he could. Andy played sports himself and he encouraged and coached many of our children to do the same.

In honour of Andy, the flag at Centennial Park will be lowered to half-mast.
