Bob Parrish was my brother-in-law and a solid figure in the life of our family. He had many fine qualities, including keen intelligence, a sharp sense of humor, humility, a generous spirit and, especially, abiding and steadfast love for his wife, Barbara, and his children and grandchildren. Uncle Bob's positive influence extended to my own children, and he was a wonderful example of love and loyalty for Meghan, Kevin and Daniel throughout their young lives. I hold Bob's family in tender prayer now and always.
