James Truman Parrott

Think of you often, my dear friend

Remembering my dear friend today

Just saw this today (Friday 4/16) or I would have been at the service. So sorry to hear of his passing. I taught with him for years and he was one of the finest people I have ever encountered. A true gentleman. Please accept my condolences.

Mr. Parrott, It was definitely a pleasure to call you friend. Your kindness was a ray of sunshine to every day. You will be greatly missed!

Thank you, Mr. Parrott, for being such a caring and engaged teacher. My friends and I didn't always behave as we should have in your class (or anyone else's, for that matter), and you always brought us back in through your inimitable style.

Thanks for all those years that your mother, Miriam and you remembered me.
