David William Parke M.D.

Dr. David W. Parke, Was a good man, extraordinary Doctor and dedicated to the greater Meriden area. He was important to us in that our first child, Susan at about age 6 was diagnosed with a "lazy eye". We took her to see Dr. Parke and he confirmed the diagnosis and outlined what needed to be done on that eye to get it refocused in sync with the other eye. It was going to need a repositioning of a ligament on that eye thru surgery to make the correction. We were obviously concerned about...

Dr. David W. Parke was a great friend, dedicated member of the Greater Meriden area and a superb physician. We can verify this from the experience we had with him and our first child, Susan. At about the time Susan was near six years old she was diagnosed with a condition called "lazy eye". We brought her to Dr. Parke for evaluation and he advised she needed eye surgery on that eye to reposition the attached ligaments so as to properly position that eye ball to be in sync with the other. ...

Marna, hi. Sending my deepest sympathies to you, Eric, Chris, Peter, and the entire Family. Reading your Father’s obituary and the beautiful tributes, knowing you forever (literally :) and most of all through the experiences we’ve shared in friendship, I feel so blessed to have even a “glimpse” into his life.
Your Father was incredibly accomplished. While you both have that in common, it is your shared commitment to and interest in others, your dedication to learning and teaching, and...

I am a benefactor of eye surgery performed by my beloved Dr Parke back in the early 1960's and then on my other eye in the early 1970's. I was 5 years old on my first visit to this wonderful man and have had a lifetime of good eyesight due to his precision and skill. We were so fortunate to have such a specialist in Meriden. God bless Dr Parke. Debbie Scalf Johnson.

David, Marna and Lissa,
My sincere condolences to you all. Your father was truly a guiding force for me during my time staffing the Academy's State Affairs Committee, and throughout the past 25+ years I've worked with ophthalmologists since then. He was funny, dedicated, smart, but especially kind. He actually was our very first babysitter while visiting in San Francisco... how can you go wrong with an MD taking care of your new child! My life is richer for having known both of your...

I loved Dr. Parke! He actually did my eye surgery when I was 2 years old! I had to wear a patch over my eye for a year. Dr. Parke, always made me feel that he cared so much what happened to me. He will always be in my memories, he was so kind. I wondered what happened to him over the years. Jesus took home a good angel.
To his family, I am sorry for your loss and I know Dr. Parke is in heaven.

To the Parke family Marna, Lissa and David, I would like to send my condolences. Your Dad, was my mentor as I was his work wife at Eye Physicians. He was more than my boss, He was my friend. Because of him I was honored to have him sponsor me as a Cheshire Lion. May he be at peace and in the arms of Joyce watching over his family. Love to all. Carol Erasmus
