Not sure what to say?

How could a year have passed so quickly. I miss you more with each passing day. I love you, my friend. No more pain, no more worries. I will see you in the near future.

It has only been a couple of days and my heart is even heavier. To think of all the wasted time in our lives. There just doesnt seem to be the right words to describe my feelings. Thelma and Nancy, I feel your pain. Thank you for lending Donny to me for so many years. He was so important to my whole family and my NY friends. Rest my sweet, sweet Donny.

I worked with donnie at McDonald's he was a joy to be around could always make you laugh with some of the things he would do and say. His favorite was always Friday when his shift would end he would say today my last day and slam his uniform to floor before putting it in the washer. He was always so friendly to everyone be other employees or customers. He will be missed

Nancy, I am very sorry about the loss of your brother. May his memory always be for a blessing for all of your family.

I spent more hours with Donnie Parr than most people in this world and I couldnt ever find a negative thing to say about him, he was always there when needed and never complained about anything, just sitting and watching football with him was a great time because whoever you wanted to cheer for he would do the same and tell you they were the best team ever, when it came time to get my drivers permit I spent a solid 8 hours just driving around with him in the passenger seat never complaining a...

Aunt Thelma & Nancy-
So sorry to hear about Donnies passing he will always be loved & missed. My thoughts & prayers are with you

I'm so sorry for you loss. I worked with Donny in the 80's. We had many laughs....probably too many. He would say his nick name was Pargo...Parr go do this, Parr go do that! Quite a funny man. When going back to visit, he always recognized me and welcome me with a warm hug. He will be missed by many.

Donny had the biggest heart!!! He would do anything for anyone. He absolutely loved all of his family and friends. I had the honor to be blessed to have met him and become friends with him. He always had a smile and that was very heartwarming. I know he is up in heaven with my mom and they are whipping up a batch of Spencer Lake Power Punch and seeing what kind of shenanigans they can get into. We all now have another Guardian Angel looking down over us. I love you Donny and I miss you...

One of the kindest, gentlest souls I have ever had the privilege of knowing. He was a true friend and member of my family. I love you, my friend. You will live on in my heart.
