Not sure what to say?

A very friendly funny man I remember. You're are missed by many. Gone way too soon, but in our minds and hearts you'll be here until we meet again on the other side of the rainbow

Snow, Duck, and myself were too young to drive, so Tims' mom used to drive us all around to our activities and we all would just be cracking up because she would grip the wheel with both hands and would twitch both thumbs constantly, non stop. We were always hanging out, when Don and Tim trashed Tims room they always blamed me. Tims mom hated me. Good times in the hood.
Always his friend,

Fifty years ago a young English girl found herself in a bit of trouble whilst travelling in Morocco. Don came to the rescue. We escaped on a midnight bus rattling along the coast road from Agadir to Essaouira...and so the adventure began...Essaouira of 69...old medina teaming with life, fresh tuna steaks for pennies, delicious 'harira' served with lemon juice and dates, a hippy haunt (Hendrix lived there for a while), a decidedly trippy place...eating locusts, grilled over charcoal with a...

Yea bro Don, knew you're on the net somewhere's how I found out you'd left. Always will keep your number and the memories of your soulful spirit. Mahalo in heaven, your friend Stuart Scott Barnes.

I am so deeply sadden to hear about Parkers passing. I new Parker many, many years ago in Peterborough NH, he was a loving, caring and sweet man and I will be forever thankful our paths crossed.
My heart and prayers go out to his son and family.

I will miss Parker as I would miss a true brother.We spent alot of time together and went on great adventures. The best memories were surfing the North Shore together before it was crowded.Parker was a trail blazer and a bit of a holy man.He's in a better place and I hope riding perfect waves. Aloha brother, Ned

Aloha Donnie,
We travelled to India together in 1972 with your short tri-fin surf board. I remember camping on a beach with pretty good surf for a month in Goa. We were there at Christmas. We looked at maps and where a river mouth was, we thought there might be surf. That took us to towns where NO tourists ever came, and no one spoke English. Smiles will open lots of doors. Locals followed us to the beach and watched you surf. Kids tried to ride the waves on your board. One town...

I've been thinking of you for the last hour and how snow's mom used to drive the three of us around town (pre-16) and we'd be crackin' up watching her twitch her thumbs non-stop while driving.
You'll be missed and remembered. What more can we ask for?
