Parry was, from the first time I met him, a fine gentleman. I respected & admired him for his intellect and true Christian attitude toward us all. Our family will remember him always.

There just aren't words to express the sadness I feel, knowing that Parry has left us. As my boss and my friend for so many years, he touched my life and that of my son's in so very many ways...and he taught me much. My very deepest sympathies to Esperanza and family. I share in your sadness and will always remember him as a remarkable, one-of-a-kind individual who left a lasting impression on so many....
In deepest sympathy,
Dawn

Parry was a remarkable man, very dignified, kind and generous to all who loved him. He always contributed an interesting story which had all of the generations asking him questions, including advise in the stock market. My children learned something valuable from him each time and we all will cherish his memory.

I had the pleasure of knowing Mr. Wiess while he was a fine Director for National Bank of Commerce-South. As my career has kept me in south Austin for most of my life, I often think of him when I pass the old Gavlon site.
My thoughts and prayers are with the family.
