Psalm 90:10 says that the days of our years are 70 years, And if because of special mightiness they are 80 years. May the memories of the wonderful times you shared together bring a smile and joy in your heart.

Dr Parker was my doctor from age 15 until his retirement in 1993. He delivered my two beautiful sons and unfortunately I had to find another doctor to deliver my daughter in 1994. Went from having a Dr who hugged me every time I was there to one that didn't know my name even after seeing him for 9 months.
He was a compassionate doctor who truly cared for his patients. We need more like him!
God bless you Dr. Parker!

Dr. Parker was an awesome doctor. He was professional, respectful, compassionate and had a wonderful sense of humor. I am grateful that I had him as my doctor till he left his practice to become a medical director. I knew that this was the right choice for him because he could teach his staff how to give the best medical care. Dr. Parker's will be missed but what he taught his patients and staff will always be forever. My heartfelt sympathy to his family and friends.

My dear friend an longtime co-conspirator MARK PARKER passed away at his home August 1 after declining treatment for metastatic cancer. He spent his last months visiting/being visited by his legions of friends and family.
The first man in his family to live past 60, he was just short of his 86th birthday (correct me if I'm off by a year or so).
I was fortunate enough to visit with him and say goodbye earlier this year. We were great fans of each other. For many years we would...
