Mass. Association of Realtors (MAR) is mourning the passing of Jack Conway, founder of Jack Conway and Company, who died on July 23rd at the age of 88. He was the Massachusetts Association of Realtors president in 1970 and 1971 and earned the group's Realtor of the Year Award in 1971. He was also 1977 National Association New England region vice president.
A reflection by Rob Authier, MAR CEO: "It has been my special pleasure to be one of Jack's friends for the past 36 years. Jack Conway often referred to others as "That Great American"...but in fact, Jack himself embodied that label. He founded and built Conway Country as one would build a New England town...with a family-orientation and strong positive culture that others model. Infused into that culture is the highest of Realtor principles, including impeccable ethics, engaging positive outlook and strong business sense. The proof of his effectiveness is that his daughter, Carol, and his entire management team carry on the spirit and culture which Jack and his wife Patti developed. We hear a lot about icons, but Jack truly IS a real estate icon. We all will miss the leadership that he provided to the entire New England real estate community...and I will miss my friend...the Great American!"
