William Parker

Dear Billy, In 1988 you performed our wedding ceremony, for your kind service we are eternally grateful! Sandy and I stopped by the gathering in your honor at the Pozo Saloon, there we saw many hearts and souls you touched both before and after ours.Well done Billy Parker, well done! On our ride home we saw a bald eagle rise from a spreading oak, soar over a field and disappear over a ridge line, see you on the other side old friend. Peace, Bruce and Sandy Cooper

Want to share this October 2015 photo of Billy in his Speedster Replica. He was helping us to learn about them and search for one of our own to buy. He took Debbie for a ride out to Avila and later handed us the keys to take it for a drive. We were hesitant for fear of damaging it, but he laughed (that one of a kind Billy Parker laugh) and said "it's just a car, take it for a drive !" Always generous, helpful and funny ! We miss him dearly.

I'm back in time, looking at your picture, and no time has passed, really. I hear your laugh and my own, because you always made me laugh.
You loved me and I loved you. See you later. God bless you. Xoxo

Billy, we were friends from First Grade on. Always the helpful guy and true friend. Sorry to see you go so soon. After all these years, you have been in my thoughts often. Wish I could have seen you more but circumstances prevented that. So long, good friend.

I am lucky to know Billy and call him "friend". Always kind, loving and generous. Always laughing and I loved visiting with him when I had the chance. He made the best oyster Rockefeller I ever ate! He built the most amazing deck for us - winding around massive oak trees, different levels, lighting around all the edges - all with making sure he did not disturb my pet cemetery. So compassionate. You are truly missed Billy. See you when my time comes.

It was a pleasure to have known Billy for the past 40+ years. What a wonderful person he was. My condolences to his family.

Bill was the fastest running back on the SLO Tigers football team, and told great jokes on the track team bus. A good guy with a great laugh. I send my sincere condolences to his family and friends.

Your friends and family will miss you. May you rest in peace.

Such a sweet soul. Always kind, always sweet and such a beautiful smile. And those sparkley eyes! What a loss to us. Hopefully, he is riding a wave or watching a sunset or riding a woodie along highway 1. Save me a place on a golden beach!
