I was sorry to hear of the passing of Parker. I shared many good times with Parker in Auburn and Lancaster. He had a great sense of humor and it was a pleasure to have known him. My condolences to his family and friends.

Dottie, I am very sorry for your loss. I will never forget the dance that "Uncle" Parker and I shared at Jack and Beverly's wedding! He was a great dancer and he was a fun man to be around. He will be missed. Hope to see you at Christmastime. Love, Linda

I met Parker in 1985 at TJ Chevrolet. I was a young kid wanting to get in the car business. He gave me my break and hired me. He taught me things about the business that many have forgotten. God bless him and his family.

Dottie I am so sorry for your loss. I remember back when the members of ""Reading Pagoda chorus of Sweet Adelines" had a surprise bridal shower for you, when you were getting married to Parker. You are in my thoughts and prayers. In Harmony and Love, Bobbilyn Schadler
