Thomas Parker

I am very sad to hear of the news of this great man and friend. Today I sit and think of Tom Parker,as the Grand Rapids fishing and out of doors show comes to town. This is where I would have met Tom and his daughter in his (Fishing pole repair) booth with the Steelheaders.It has been a few years from my last visit with Tom but I have thought of him every year when I would visit the GR area and the out of doors fishing show.
To his wife and family, my family is feeling with you in your...

God Bless The Parker Family. I really did not know Tom personally but the times we talked I knew he was a wonderful guy as well as an attorney on behalf of my family we thank you for everything you have done and tried to do for our family member.

I knew Tom from riding the Dash bus with him downtown. We never formally met but we knew each other by sight. We talked about lots of subjects on our short ride and I always found him friendly,interesting & entertaining. I was sorry to see the notice of his death. He will be missed by many people. My sympathies to your family.

Dear Sandy and family-I just heard of Tom's passing today. I am deeply saddened and shocked to hear of his passing. I worked with Tom at the Kent County Public Defender's Office in 1987-1988 when I was a new lawyer. Tom was a great mentor who taught me much about the practice of the law, many of the things I learned from him I still use today in my practice. He was also a loyal friend and colleague. I also remember just how proud he was of his wife and children and how devoted he was to...

Dear Sandy,
You are in our prayers and thoughts.
Sincerely,
Andy Welch

Sandy and family,

You have my deepest sympathy. May God keep you in his hands and carry you through your loss. Tom had a big heart and I was blessed to know him.

Dear Sandy and family,
I think about all the fond things you said about Tom and how the two of you were so good together. You have 3 great kids, 2 grandkids and in-laws. I only met Tom 1x but got to see the fishing rods and pocket books. You will have a lot of incredible memories and remember each person we lose is one of those angels looking out for us. Take care of yourself. Lots of Love.

Sandy, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

My deepest sympathies to Tom's family and his many friends. The last time I saw Tom was next to me on some cardio equipment at the Y. We hadn't seen each other in a while but it was as if time was just a mirage. What a great guy. What an untimely loss.
