Tim Conway, 84, Suffering from Dementia: He's 'Almost Entirely Unresponsive,' Says Daughter
People ^ | August 24, 2018 | Robyn Merrett

Tim Conway is battling dementia.

The 84-year-old Carol Burnett Show star’s daughter Kelly is asking to be appointed conservator of her father and be in charge of his medical treatments, according to court documents obtained by PEOPLE and first reported by The Blast.

Kelly, 56, filed the documents in Los Angeles on Friday, claiming Conway’s wife Charlene is “planning to move him out of the excellent skilled nursing facility he is currently at” and place him in one that won’t give him access to “registered nurses at all times and his 24-hour caregiver and speech therapist (to help with swallowing).”

Kelly also states that Conway cannot “properly provide for his personal needs for physical health, food, and clothing” and is “almost entirely unresponsive.”

She hopes to be granted guardianship so she can also administer her father’s medications herself.

I’ve had some experience with this. If one is having trouble swallowing, they usually have a week or two left.

I met him 35 years ago at the Santa Anita racetrack when we were celebrating a cousin's birthday. He was humble, sweet, and gracious. Just a regular guy.

Peace be with you, Tim.

I remember Conway doing a guest appearance on his son’s (Tim, Jr.) radio show on KFI just a few years ago. He seemed to pretty sharp then.

My wonderful Mother just died of Alzheimer's this year at 85. It's a horrid way to go. The last year is really terrible.

Prayers up for one of the great ones and the Conway family.

-

I AM 85 and all of the people my age don’t fear death,but we DO fear Alzheimer’s.

A brutal disease.

And entirely none of our business.

Stories like this are nothing but gossip over the back fence. Just because we are entertained by someone, we do not know them. They are not our friends.

We have no right to know their business.

There is a YouTube with Vicki Lawrence where she explains what she said at the end to send everyone over the edge. And it was dick can dyke not Harvey Norman in that skit. Whenever I need a laugh, that and George Goble on Johnny Carson talking about his WW2 service.

Tim Conway jr. isn’t mentioned in the article but he has a successful LA based radio show and last I recall, was very supportive of his dad.

Curious where he stands on this.

What a talent. The entire cast of Carol Burnett had a hard time keeping a straight face during many of the sketches.

Conway was great in McHale’s Navy. Some of those older episodes were classic.
