Only recently and accidently did I discover my dad's obit and messages. Didn't realize the paper directed it to this guest book.
So thank you so much James, Julie and Tim for remembering my dad and your kind words. He died a year ago today. ??

Sorry to hear Great Uncle Jim has passed. I was remembering stories my dad William "Pat" Parsley told me of him and I had an urge recently to see if I could find anything online. While searching for WW2 bomber pilots names Jim Parsley I came across his obituary. My dad always spoke and thought very highly of him. Sincerely Jim Parsley and family. [email protected]
