Mrs. Parsons and family,
Normand are were so sorry to hear about Mr. Parsons death. He was a huge presence in the Town of Oakham and will always be known as the unofficial mayor of the Town. He always had a great story to share while making his daily rounds around Oakham checking up on the latest project. He was so proud of his grandchildren and kept us up to date on their accomplishments. What a happy guy he was. He will be missed for sure.

My sincere condolences to Bettyann and the Parsons family. I truly enjoyed my conversations with Jim every time I saw him at the races. He had great stories about racing "way back when" and was a real fan of the sport. He will be missed. With sympathy, Pete Falconi, NEMA Announcer
