To my dearest brother Bob. Even though we are brothers through marriage, you never made it feel that way. You were my brother, you were my best friend. It didn’t matter what was going on in my life, I was able to talk to you and you would lead me in the right direction. You were the rock and the foundation for our family. We will struggle to live without you by our side, but we will survive knowing that our guardian angel will be with us throughout the rest of our lives. I promise I will always be there for Matt, Nicki, Tammy, Jesse and Elizabeth, but there is no way I can replace you. I would need 10 of me, to replace what you did for this family. I know you will be with us, helping us call the next play, either on the football field or in our lives. You will forever be in my heart, my dear brother. I Love You! Glenn

My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Parzero family. Coach Parzero was one of the most influential people in my life and had a great an impact in making me the man I am today. The lessons he taught me and the countless other young men over his many years of coaching had an immeasurable impact in shaping our lives. Coach Parzero used football as a vehicle to teach invaluable life lessons like personal accountability, discipline, respect, and teamwork. I have not seen Bob Parzero in many years, but if I had the chance I would tell him thank you. I am thankful I knew Bob Parzero, he was a great man.
