John Louis Parkinson

I knew Lou when we were small children and lived next door to one another in Durango, Colorado. We both ended up being Municipal Judges for a while and remained good friends for life. Lou was a wonderful story teller and time spent with him was always full of laughs. He will be missed.

If Lou was your friend you were so fortunate as he was both loyal and steadfast. He was a great neighbor, father, friend, golfer, humorist, storyteller....and of course a husband to his Betty!

Lou was compassionate and kind, and he told some great stories. He was a person one remembered. I will miss him. My sincere condolences to his family.
