Dear Karman, Deanna, Stephen and Families,
Please accept our sympathies for your loss. I read about Gary's death today in the WSU Foundation newsletter. Since age 19, Troy Parker was a very good friend of mine until his passing and he would often speak of Gary and Karmen when we were "hanging out" in college or skiing at Copper Mtn. I know Gary will be missed by many people.

Mr. Parker, It was a honor to know you! You will be missed. I will never forget the memories of the game #6 World Series tickets you were so generous to give me. That was just the kind of gentleman you were. Sharing a gift, a laugh, or a smile. RIP

Compassionate, passionate, generous, pristinely family loving, fit, intense, empathetic, deeply concerned for our nation, powerful mind. These are but a few descriptors of Gary Parker, a man's man. Oh, how Gary will be missed by all whose paths crossed with his, but none of those will miss him like his family. To the family we give you our most heartfelt sympathies and prayers.

I met Gary Parker via a phone call one Saturday morning 30 years ago when he and Ed Wahl called me about a ship we were loading was off spec on butane. Little did I know I was talking with the GREATEST refined products trader of our generation. RIP Gary . . . and give God a break when you trade with him!

He was my mentor, my boss, my friend and at times, my second Father. Such a big part of my adulthood, I cannot imagine him not being a part of my life. I pray that Karman and the family will find peace and comfort knowing how special he truly was to so many people. Godspeed my friend

Fill Not Your Heart With Sorrow
Fill not your hearts with pain and sorrow,
but remember me in every tomorrow.
Remember the joy, the laughter, the smiles,
I've only gone to rest a little while.
Although my leaving causes pain and grief,
my going has eased my hurt & given my relief.
So dry your eyes and remember me,
not as I am now, but as I used to be.
Because, I will remember you all,
and look on with a smile.
Understand, in your hearts,
I've only gone to rest a little while....
As long as I have the love of you,
I can live my life in your heart.

My thoughts and prayers are with Gary's family and friends at this difficult time. Our family was truly impacted by his kindness and generosity over the years. He was an amazing business man who loved his family deeply. I admired the way Gary lived life to the fullest and he will be greatly missed by all that knew and loved him.
