Jerry Conklin was one of the real “old timers” and one half of the “Amazing Conklins.” He lived and was based out of Colon, Michigan ever since I can remember. I saw many of his illusion shows at the annual Abbott Get-Together’s and always learned much from him. Ironically, he was born in the same year as my mom, 1928.

I know in recent months he had been active on his Facebook page and is where I re-connected with him. RIP – Both you as a person and your performances will be greatly missed Jerry. But will live on in all of our memories forever…
