Mr. Conway married Grace Roseman in 1950. They lived in Lafayette Hills PA and he worked as a sales manager for the Monroe Calculator Company.
Mr. Conway and his brother William launched a mobile ice cream business on March 17, 1956. In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, they drove their truck throughout South Philadelphia and gave away free green ice cream.
Mister Softee Inc. became the first mobile ice cream franchise business in the United States. From a single truck the brothers expanded their operations along the east coast, from New England to Virginia, and Mister Softee became an icon throughout the region.
During the next fifty years, the company expanded throughout the United States and internationally, through a unique franchise concept.
