Conitz passed away in a boat-related accident Nov. 23, 2013, in Oceanside Harbor, Calif. Services will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 7, at Peace Church, New Salem. Visitation will be held at 10 a.m. Conitz was born Feb. 24, 1957, in Mandan, to Myron and Evelyn Conitz. Greg, who grew up with his older brother Clifford, had a rich childhood, steeped in the simplicity and beauty of rural North Dakota. His father, Myron, a farmer and rancher by profession, raised Hereford cattle and grew wheat in Bluegrass and New Salem, and his mother, Evelyn Conitz, taught at the elementary school in New Salem. A fourth-generation North Dakotan, Greg took pride in his family's long association with the town of Bluegrass, where his grandfather, George Conitz, was the postmaster, and where the Conitz family owned the country store, creamery and gas station. When he was 10 years old, his interest in model airplanes led him to announce that he was going to be a pilot. After graduating from New Salem High School, Conitz pursued his aviation career in Florida, Arizona and North Dakota. He remained dedicated to the family's farming interests and returned often to North Dakota throughout those years. By the mid-'80s, Conitz made the decision to pursue a career as a commercial pilot. He moved to San Diego, where he earned a bachelor's degree in computer science from San Diego State University. While Conitz had job opportunities in the computer science industry, he accepted an offer from American Eagle Airlines. In 1992, he married Allison Pettross and they enjoyed many happy years of adventure and travel. Conitz became a father in 1998 with the birth of his son, Gregory. Twins Tess and Erin were born in 2002. By then the young family had transferred to Boston, where Conitz was upgraded to jet pilot for Eagle. In 2004, Conitz returned to the LAX base and the family moved to Julian, where he could provide his children a childhood reminiscent of his own rural upbringing. Shortly after returning to California, Conitz was delighted to be hired by JetBlue and flew as First Officer on the Airbus A320 until the time of his death. Conitz enjoyed hunting, fishing, skiing, sailing, scuba diving, hiking and bicycling. His interest and competence in outdoor activities were put to good use as assistant scoutmaster for Julian Boy Scout Troop 690. He is survived by his mother, Evelyn Conitz, New Salem; and his three children, Gregory (15) and twins Tess and Erin (11), Julian Calif. He was preceded in death by his father, Myron C. Conitz; and his brother, Clifford. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to Julian Boy Scout Troop 690, P.O. Box 2013, Julian, Calif. 92036.
