Dr. Paul Brownlee Parks

My condolences to the family. We lived down the street from you in Western Springs. I remember my brothers knowing you all. Diane Cherry

Paul was a colleague, co-author and friend. Lunch discussions were aways enjoyable and wide ranging. In a company with very smart people, he struck me as one of the brightest, and I'll always retain my fond memories of him. Because of travel, I'll be unable to attend his memorial service. Please extend my regrets to his family and friends.

I worked with Paul for more than 30 years, starting with our common interests in pellet injection into plasmas. Paul was always outspoken, in all aspects of life. I was greatly saddened to hear of his passing, and had most recently been chatting with him only a few weeks before. He was usually the first person I would meet up with whenever I visited at GA. Our most fun paper together was https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10894-015-0034-1

I have known Paul for over 20 years. He was an excellent scientist and a real character. We continued to talk after I left GA and had kept our interactions as he bravely dealt with his illness. I will miss our calls which were filled with passion and laughs. The world is a little more quiet without Paul. I will miss him.
