Not sure what to say?

I would like to offer my condolences to the family of Rev. David Park, he was the interim minister at the Peoples Church in Ludington Michigan when I was a young man. I have fond memories of David, he used to come over to my families home and enjoy dinner and conversation with my us. It was always a good indication that David would be comeing over for dinner when my dad would bring home a box of cookies. Thankyou for being apart of my life you are missed my friend.

Mr. Parke was a great man.
I would love to say hello to the family. Peter Mudge 774 487 2961

Hello Parke Friends and Family,

David was our UU minister in Andover, Mass. for a few years. We loved him. It is so difficult to find brilliant people who do not make you feel inadequate: he was one! Rev. Parke officiated my husband and my 25th reaffirmation of our vows. Now we have 51 years together. Blessings to all of you.

Hello Parke Family. I was introduced to David by our mutual friend, Rev. Orloff Miller who lived in Germany, (originally from Hingham and worked at UUA HQ.) They were super friends.

David became a very dear friend to me and we'd talk all things UU and more (Trump!!!!)(He was looking forward to voting for Joe Biden, and wondering who he's going to pick as his VP, and celebrating his Inauguration.

The Reverend David Parke was a good friend and a mentor. I feel honored to have known him well and to have had many intellectual discussions about theology and philosophy. He maintained throughout that his youthful vision of God had remained with him throughout his life and his views on Unitarian-Universalism will remain with me. He also revealed a great deal about his personal life. He was an amazing listener and often asked me follow-up questions when others would have moved on to other...

David was my father, and he loved Scrabble. He was competitive, yet gracious. He'd say, "When I win, I'm happy. And when you win, I still win, because I'm your father."

An exuberant guy and great friend.

Definitely Marched to the Beat of his Own Drum.Rest In Peace David and Thank You for your contribution to this life

I'm so sorry to hear of David's passing, and yet so grateful he lived such a long and active life! He was a wonderful colleague and a delightful soul. He will be greatly missed in his living form, and his ongoing presence will continue to inspire generations to come, I'm sure.
