CARLETON CONRAD Passed away early in the morning on Friday, February 24, 2012, surrounded by family. Born in Glendale, California on June 6, 1948, he spent his early childhood in Clovis, New Mexico. The eldest son of an Air Force Colonel, from an early age he showed a vibrant spirit and an indomitable passion for life. Growing up in a military family gave him the opportunity to travel extensively and experience the world, which only further fueled that passion. In his early 30's, Carleton was asked by a boss to pick up golf as a way to mingle with their clients. So began a deep and abiding love affair with the game that would later come to define him. So great were his twin passions for golf, and for the wide open beauty of New Mexico, that in the late 1990's, Carleton left a successful career in marketing for the aerospace and defense industry in Ohio to follow his dreams. Returning to the Albuquerque area in 1997, he started working on his golf game in earnest, rising in status as he lowered his handicap. Turning pro in 1998, he spent many happy years, working in country clubs, representing Callaway Golf, and playing every chance he got. He found his true calling in working with children, teaching them to play the game he loved so much, and inspiring in their young minds the same energy and passion. A charismatic and charming man, Carleton spent his last years in the Lake Valley, New Mexico community, where his heart and soul had at last found their home. A friendly competitor to the end, Carleton had five holes-in-one to his credit, and he played his last game of golf just a week before he passed. He follows his parents, Colonel Carleton and Dorothy Hasbrook and his cherished sister Peggy Botkin death. Carleton is survived by his beloved wife, Cathy Faulkner Hasbrook; his sister, Kathleen Hasbrook Robinson; brother William Hasbrook; son Forrest Hasbrook and wife, Capiz Calloway; daughter Portia Hasbrook Mohr and husband Scott Mohr; grandchildren Adelyn and Beckett Mohr; and various nieces and nephews. The family will be holding a private celebration of Carleton's life at home on Saturday, March 3, 2012 at 2:00 p.m. at 25 Black Range Road, Hillsboro, NM.
