Dr. Parkhurst was a revered teacher and a great friend to me during my Urology training at the MGH. We shared a special bond because we both had ties to Beverly, MA. I often recall his generosity, warmth, and sense of humor. My thoughts are with his family. Thanks for sharing him with us for all those years.
