Thomas T. "Spike" PARNELL

Spike has always been an important fond memory for me, and I have a photo of him over my desk which I enjoy looking at daily. As I have mentioned before, he shall always carry a place in my heart. Pat Keevan Littlewood Friend

Spike was a very kind and generous man, and we were close friends during our growing-up years in Tucson, attending school together at Mansfeld, Tucson High and the University of Arizona. He shall continue to reside in my memory with great affection and his unending presence in my life. Spike shall
always have a place in my heart. And I send my deepest condolences to his widow, Suzanne, who has also been a fond friend with whom I have had a lasting relationship since our times in...

Suzanne, I'm very sorry for your loss! I just came across this notice and was taken aback and heartbroken. Spike seemed to be such a good, kind man, and the two of you were a lovely couple. I'm so glad you found one another after earlier heartache, and sad you must endure loss again. You are in my thoughts and my heart.

Spike's family and my family were good friends in Tucson back in "the old days", and Spike and I were close from the time we shared our daily lives at Mansfeld, Tucson High and the U. of A. I am extremely saddened to lose such a kind, lifetime friend, and extend my deepest sympathy to Suzanne, who is also a dear friend from childhood. Spike's spirit shall remain with us.

Spike was a treasured friend. It is not often that people like him come into your life. Spike had a wonderful sense of humor; he was generous, intelligent and kind. We will him and his great stories, our trips to Puerto Penasco and the birthday dinners. Love you Spike ❤

Spike was one of my favorite people! May he Rest In Peace as his reward for being such a dear person... Roger will definitely miss sharing life experiences with him!!

Dear Suzanne and Family, we are devastated to learn of his passing. For us Spike was dear, kind, gentle, bright, fun, altogether "a good man". We feel incredibly grateful to have called ourselves "friend." Our deepest love to Suzanne, his extended family and great numbers of friends in Tucson. We send love and deep condolences to Suzanne.

Spike was my close friend in the 30s & 40s when we both lived on Craycroft (the dirt road) & rode our bikes back & forth to each other's house. I am making up a list of memories for all to share. I feel a great loss & hope the family will find some healing in time.
