Nan, I am so very sorry for your loss. Bob was like a big brother when I was growing up. He always had a kind word and a smile to share. I loved to listen to him play his guitar and sing. Bob was so good to my parents too. I will cherish the memories I have and never forget him. May he rest in peace and may God bless you and your family & give you strength. With sincere sympathy

This is such a shock. I'm so thankful I was able to spend some time with Bob last year at the funeral of his sister Sandy. He was two years younger than I and those of us in the family always referred to him as Baby Bobby, a name that seemed to stick within the family until Bob was indeed no longer a baby! Although I haven't been able to see Bob much since his move to Colorado, along with his sister I will miss him. There's no mistaken that he was truly a Parrish! A spitting image of his father with so many family traits. My thoughts and prayers for Nan, the kids, and the grandkids.
