To all the friends of my father I wish to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. Many of you helped Bobby and Dad in many ways while both of them fought together against thier illnesses. We thank neighbors for mowing, and shoveling snow. We thank friends at the legion for the many visits. The visits let dad know that he was thought of and missed at the card table or golf course. We thank those of you that helped our family transport dad to dialysis. It is a real comfort to know as his daughter that my parents had such wonderful friends. They were truely blessed to have you all. A special thanks to family that helped me with moving dad and all that that entales and making sure that everything was taken care of so that dad had no worries during his last days. It seems so odd that he no longer needs me. I take comfort that my father is now being cared for by THE father in heaven. AMEN I LOVE YOU DAD, Lynette

I'm sending my prayers for your families. Bill and my dad, Gary Parker, use to bowl on American Legion Post 47's bowling league and I would go with my dad and watch. I remember Bill fondly. What a great man. He will be missed by many. My deepest sympathy goes to all his remaining family members.
Sincerely,
Debbie

I always had fun with him, and I'm going to miss my dear Uncle Billy.
