Adam Parsons

I was a teenager in Detroit when I knew Col Parsons, while attending the Romanian Baptist Church. I remember his great laugh. My prayers are with you all in the loss of your Dad & Grandpa. Trust in the Lord for the comfort He offers.Blessings to you all.

Adam would always light up my day when he would come to shop at Summervilles, I helped him find his favorite pens for years. Always a smile on his face.rest in peace Adam.

To Adam's Family
I was very sorry to hear about Adam's passing. He was a good friend and we will miss him. My father, Dale Van Hyning, who passed away in the year 2000, and Adam were business aquaintances. Dale was a veteran of WWII also. Dale talked often over the years about the many trips he took with Adam over to Europe and about the enjoyment his friendship with Adam brought to him.

I knew Adam Parsons from Woodland Church. My parents knew him. My Dad knew him from college. Adam was a friend who reached out to many people. He was vibrant and connected to all he came in contact with. He was exuberant and engaged in living. A tremendous presence who made a deep and long lasting impression. He was a hero, and an example of how to live life in full. My deepest sympathy to his family.

To the family of Adam Parsons:
As members of MAPS Air Museum, we are honored that MAPS was chosen to display Col. Parsons' military memorabilia. His participation in the war truly helped to give the country and world the freedoms we enjoy today.

We regret never having gotten the opportunity to know him.



The Pilot's Prayer

Take me over sky blue waters
Hills rolling green
Let me clear those rugged mountains
As I climb for heavens...

ADAM PARSON in memoriam
Adam will be remembered by us as a great patriot and a true hero.He had many friends in France where he was highly admired.We will always be grateful to him for the heroic part he took in the Liberation of France.

To Col. Parsons' family,
Col. Parsons was a friend to everyone he met. I met him in 1990 when he attended our Camp Toccoa Reunion in Toccoa, Georgia where he took his paratrooper training and was responsible for many of the physical training exercises established in paratrooper basic training established at Camp Toccoa in 1942. A generous and kind gentleman, he will be missed.

I always admired you as a
gentelman and as a person.
God Bless.
