I own an original water colour by Mr. Parker entitled "Lighthouse at Louisbourg", He was truly talented and my prayers are with his family. I'm sure he will be greatly missed by many.

My condolences to the Parker family on the loss of Lew earlier this year. I'll always have fond memories of Lew, his influence as a mentor and his sound advice while working with Lew and Terry MacDonald in Cape Breton in the early/mid 1980s.
regards,

Matthew and the Parker family:
It was truly amazing to hear about the life of Lewis Parker. That he was a well-known artist, I knew, but to hear how beloved he was as a friend, mentor, father and so much else to do many people was a joy to those of us that knew him through you. Thank you for the slide presentation you gave and the wonderful thoughts that were shared by the others. I would have enjoyed knowing Lewis personally but I did through you, Matthew. Thank you.

Eleanor, Christine, Leslie and Matthew -- so sorry to hear from Mom last week of Lewis' passing. Of course it got me remembering all the time our families had together when we were little. I will always credit Lewis with giving me a life-long love of jazz. The reel to reel tapes that he made for my dad of (what was then brand new) jazz by Miles, Thelonius, Tatum et al were well-played in our house and have become a part of my personality I think. I love that the website you've built for him includes a jazz soundtrack. My thoughts are with you for these days and in the coming months and years. Will see you at the service. Big hug -- Michaelle

Condolences on your loss. Sounds like your father, Lewis had a full and satisfying life. I am sure he is being welcomed into heaven by Jesus and this is the beginning of another full, satisfying, and eternal life.
You can always see him there - years from now.
Blessings to you and your family, Matthew. Your sister in Christ, Andrea

We were so sorry to learn of the passing of Lewis Parker. We came to know him through the friendship he had with my father, Les Nisbet, at Retirement Suites by the Lake. Les was also an artist, and so it wasn't long before the two of them found that they had a lot in common. Les and his wife Gwen had fond admiration for both Lewis and Eleanor, and although Les passed away in 2008, Gwen who is now in a caregiving home in Stouffville fondly remembers Lewis and wishes to send her condolences, and her thoughts are with Eleanor and the family.

I am sorry to learn of the death of Lewis Parker. As owner of the Uxbridge Radio Shack I was always happy when Mr. Parker came in to the store. He was so gracious and unassuming and it was some time before I knew of his outstanding contirbution to society through his art.When I visited his show at the gallery in Buckhorn, he and Mrs.Parker seemed truly glad to see me. We have lost a true gentleman. He has given us much.
