To the Parker Family, my condolences, thoughts, and prayers are with you. Mr. Parker was one of the "greatest" musicians I've had the pleasure to know. His vision, gift for music, talent, and leadership was second to none. He took the EHS Band to higher heights, with much entertainment. May you also cherish the love and fond memories of Mr. Parker. Gone but never Forgotten!

Mrs. Parker and Family;
The bond your shared with your husband/father doesn't end with death. The lessons you've learned, the memories you're shared, and the love the two of you had for each other lives on. Through all the years to come, your husband/father will be there by your side whenever you share a story about the times you spent together. May that thought bring you comfort

May God bless the Parker family in this time of sorrow. The Parker family is in my thoughts and prayers. What a great teacher and educator. Mr. Parker had a huge impact on my life. He thought all of us to be proud of who we were and to take ownership of our product. And that we did. All of us band members were his extended family. I truly felt that he loved each and ever one of us equally. To this day, I'm proud to say that I was a member of the Eastside High School Marching Band and was a...
