Sorry to hear about Harry. We met him for the first time during one of his many visits to Mt. Olivet. He always seems in the best of spirts spoke very highly of his family. I especially enjoyed talking to him about baseball which he seemed to also enjoy. We will miss him on our visits to Mt. Olivet.

I first me Harry when I applied for a sales position, at National Biscuit Company, in March of 1973. From that day forward, he never faltered in his support and caring for me and my family. Thank you, Harry Parker. You will be greatly missed.

I so enjoyed the "lunch dates" Harry and I shared after I moved to Denver. He was always so full of life and helped me to see the good in all people.
I will never forget the advice he offered and the support he extended when I was dealing with family issues.
I grew to love him and I am a better person for having known him.
Thank you Harry for all those you touched.

What a wonderful pillar of a man Harry was! I wish I could have known him as well as his family and many friends. On the few occasions I did visit with him, he always had wonderful insight and advice. I still have a message he sent me during a very tough personel period. It becomes more true everytime I read it. Thank you for being such a great man to so many! Rest in Peace Harry.....Brett Birt
