Joseph Francis Conroy

Joseph Francis Conroy, 88, of White Oak, passed away Friday, May 8, 2026 in Redstone Highlands, Greensburg. He was born January 11, 1938, in Duquesne and was the only child of Hannah Corcoran Conroy and Joseph Conroy. Joe was retired from Bob Massie Lincoln-Mercury-Toyota where he specialized in front end alignments. His nickname was JoeBags. He loved playing the Daily Number (especially the numbers 216 and 540) and buying scratch-off tickets at Lou's Brews, always calling Doreen and Debbie for “ just one more number.” He was an avid Steelers fan, especially of players such as Jack Lambert and Terry Bradshaw, and will be buried with a Terrible Towel and wearing a Steelers sweatshirt. He also greatly enjoyed WWE wrestling and watching almost any sport he could find, but he was never a fan of Tiger Woods. He loved his bright red Jeep Liberty, you may have seen him in the White Oak area with his custom plate, ALIGN. Joe was also a huge fan of John Wayne and TV westerns. Although he was not a big reader, he really used to enjoy the McKeesport Daily News and was often consulting the Dream Book for lottery numbers. He was preceded in death by his wife of 65 years, Rose Mary Conroy, on February 28, 2024, and a beloved cousin, Martin "Corky" Corcoran . He is survived by his children, Joseph M.
