“People say that nothing is perfect and truly nothing ever is, but we had a marriage that… I feel that the two of us were meant to be together. We were just one mind and heart. And it was 35 years of heaven. I know that sounds cheesy, but it’s true.”

Charlene went on as she explained that the award-winning Star was a fun loving man whose good nature spread to friends and family. She added:

“Tim “instill[ed] in the family, all the kids, the grandkids, that humor does help us deal with horrific experiences. It’s a way out. For him, it was a way out. It didn’t mean he felt or grieved any less. That was his outlet for it.”

Charlene continued talking about her beloved spouse as she relayed that Conway was a humble celebrity who downplayed his status. She explains:

“He was always shocked and surprised when other celebrities knew who he was.”

She chipped in, saying:

“He truly was. He and Harvey [Korman] toured for ten years doing this two-man show in theaters all across the country, and he was always surprised that there were standing ovations and crowds around the stage door, entrance and exit.”
