He was raised in Clyde, Missouri, and after high school, he joined the Air Force. He was a staff sergeant and served in the Korean War. He married Lucille Peters on November 6, 1954, a bond that lasted almost 60 years. From that union, they had six children. After an honorable discharge from the Air Force in 1957, Con worked as an over the road truck driver for Farmland Industries in Kansas City, Phillipsburg, Kansas, and Clay Center, Kansas. After retirement, he and Lucille moved back to Kansas City, where he worked as a school bus driver for Lee's Summit USD until he retired in 2002.

He served as school board president of Eastern Heights USD in Agra, Kansas, coached many little league teams, was an active member of the VFW, Knights of Columbus, Korean War Veterans (Kansas Chapter 181), and St. Thomas More Church and the More Friends church group.
