I knew Wayne when he was a student at Yale, and when he, Steve Kieran, Barbara DeGrange, and I shared an apartment in Philadelphia in 1973-1974. He was a wonderful human being, kind, witty, gentle, caring; at the time, we both were living apart from our future spouses (because of our respective graduate programs), and used to lament our situations while we were taking a break from studying in the evenings. He was deeply in love with his future wife. I was shocked to read of his untimely...

I was Wayne's dissertation advisor when he was in graduate school. He was a wonderful student, an original thinker, and a terrific human being.

I knew Wayne when we were both in the graduate program in clinical psychology at Temple University. In fact, at one point he was my supervisor -- and you can imagine how lucky I was to have a person with such a combination of gentleness and sharp intelligence. It was wonderful to see the photographs of Wayne with his family, and I know you were all the beneficiaries of his caring delight. I am so sorry for your loss.

Dr. Parker was such a caring person, and though I only knew him in the past year, he had a significant impact on my life. I will always be grateful. His family was so fortunate to have him in their life, and I'm so sorry for their loss.
