Not sure what to say?

I had the pleasure of practicing with Francis from the RTP and Raleigh Office of Parker Poe for 12 years. I am proud to have been associated him and to have worked with one of the giants of the profession, a gentleman and a scholar. Well done, Francis...

Frank and I lived across the street on Queens Road and were the best of friends from the early '40's. We maintained this friendship through the years with visit to Charlotte and many phone calls.

MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH THE FAMILY...MR PARKER WAS
TRULY A GENTLEMAN AND WELL
REPECTED LAWYER. I ALWAYS GOT

HIS BOW TIE...

Mr. Parker was the epitomy of a southern gentleman. I had the honor of knowing him while working at Parker Poe in the real estate and lending department many years ago. He always greeted everyone by their name and with a smile and most of the time a funny quip about something. He had the coolest car - you could always see him coming. I was saddened to see that he had passed but he's up in heaven getting the real estate titles all in order. God bless.
