Some might say to keep this out of an obit thread, but this bad behavior can't really be ignored:
On March 31, 2003, while on Highway 4 in the California Sierra foothills near his Alpine County home, Conrad drove his Jaguar over the center median and slammed head-on into a Subaru driven by 26-year-old Kevin Burnett. Both men suffered serious injuries. Tried on felony charges, Conrad pleaded no contest, and he was convicted of drunk driving.
He was sentenced to six months of house confinement, alcohol counseling, and five years' probation. A civil suit filed by Kevin Burnett against Conrad was settled the following year for an undisclosed amount. In 2005, Burnett died at age 28 from perforated ulcers, which his family attributed to his difficult recovery from the crash. Conrad himself suffered severe nerve injuries from the crash, which left his right side partially paralyzed.
Sorry if you're a "not the time or place" kind of person, but rest in peace Mr. Burnett.

I was always surprised that he married his second wife when she was only 17 (he was 46 at the time). He met her at a teen beauty pageant where he was a host and she was a competitor.

I’m with you - I have ZERO SYMPATHY in life, or in death, regarding anyone who has the money to NOT endanger others...in this case, by simply having a driver (legal or otherwise, but sober) to take him around.
