- Conter passed away in his residence in Grass Valley, California as a result of congestive heart failure, as confirmed by his daughter, Louann Daley.
- In the attack of 1941 that propelled the United States into World War II, a total of 1,177 sailors and Marines lost their lives. Conter, who served as a quartermaster, was stationed on the main deck of the Arizona when Japanese aircraft flew above him on December 7 at 7:55 a.m.
