Parke will be sorely missed. I last saw Parke on my most recent visit to Deland. We caught up at the Airport Resturant and spent several minutes enjoying past memories of golf tournaments, friends and just enjoying life. He always treated me as a great friend even though I lived 1200 miles away. I will always remember his smile and infectious personality. My prayers go out to Lyn and the rest of Parke's family. May god bless you all.

Lynn, Mike, Alan,
I have been friends with Parke for nearly 12 years. When I heard the news Sunday morning that he had passed away my heart broke. Every time I think of him I picture Parke with "That Grin" that defined his personality and kept everyone around him on their toes. Over the years I introduced him to other friends from Daytona and Melbourne (and he was the kind of guy you could meet once or twice and never forget him), they too offer their sincere condolences. Lynn, Mike and Alan you will be in prayers and Parke I will always remember the fun that seemed to gravitate towards you and orbit you like planets around the sun and I will be sad that I cannot feel that feeling again, but I will instantly see your smile in my mind's eye and be glad we were friends.
