James Harris Parnell Jr.

Jeff,

You are in our thoughts and prayers. May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

To the family, I truly adored your Dad, and Grandfather. He loved his students at ECU and his colleagues, and was such a joy to know including his wife Anne who has passed. One thing I can say is no one ever said an unkind word about this wonderful man, and that says it all and he influenced many lives. He will be missed, but do know that we all have you in our thoughts and prayers.

Jeff, Carron, Marc & Alexis,
Our deepest sympathies go out to your family on the passing of your father/grandfather. May the memories you hold in your heart comfort you during this time of sorrow.
Mary, Paul, Jake & Ben Swaney

Mr. Parnell was an inspiration to many. I will always appreciate everything he did for me and the impact he had on my life. Please accept my deepest condolences.

Mr. Parnell was an amazing man. I was a horn student of his at East Carolina and I loved every minute of my time with him. My fondest memories of him include when we would carol for he and the lovely Mrs. Ann Parnell and then they would invite us in for hot chocolate and other goodies. What an incredible couple. I am thinking of you all during his difficult time.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all...

Jeff, I am sorry to hear about your father's passing. Thoughts and prayers out to you and your family. I hope you're doing well.
