Douglas E. "Coach" Parker

Scott sorry to see that your dad and Kirk passed away. Our family has a lot of fond memories camping with your family.

I love Doug Parker. And I always will.

My deepest condolences to the entire Parker family. I was very fortunate to have Coach Doug Parker at Springfield College in several classes. He always treated his students and athletes with respect while holding them accountable to be and do their best. I have some wonderful memories of him at SC and at Agawam High School where he was always a welcome addition to the wrestling program. He was an awesome man.

Coach Parker was coach of our Hope Church Soccer team in the 60's. I have wonderful memories of him as a kind, helping man. Thanks for letting a little girl play for your team!

My thoughts and prayers are with the Parker Family. I was fortunate to have Coach for square dancing class at Springfield College. One of my all time favorites! I had the pleasure of getting to know Coach even more during my time working at SC. He was a gem and will be missed by many. Sincerely, Maria D'Agostino Crawford SC '91

It's with deep sorrow that I've had to read the passing of Doug. He and Pat were the most caring, friendly neighbors and I'm sure the other neighbors feel the same. You re now with Pat, Kirk and Buffy having the time of your life. Rest in peace Doug and you will be greatly missed by everyone. Prayers to your family.

My way made better having known Coach P, and having wrestled for him. Miss you Coach, keep smiling

Coach Parker was a great coach and a great man I was lucky to have him as a coach.

My deepest condolences to the Family of Doug Parker. When I was the Wrestling Coach at Drexel University and was invited to the Springfield College Open, I knew that Drexel had finally made a name for itself. I thanked Coach Parker for that honor.
Doug was a man of Honor, dedication, but most of all he was a FRIEND to me, and all who knew and Loved him!
RIP - Doug Parker Deepest Respect, Jack Childs
