Although I had not seen "China Doll" in many years (since we were both at FAMU HIGH), it caused me great distress when I recently learned of his passing. I wish to express my heartfelt sympathy to his family.

To the family of coach Paremore I wish to give my condolences and praise to a very good man, coach P was very good to me and gave me some direction as in letting me know that if i wanted something I had to take charge of my life and do it my self and to this day i thank him for that, he told me one day that me and only me could make my life what i wanted it to be and he was right. and i just want to say thank you coach P. you were a wonderful person and teacher. I just wish my kids and others could have had someone in their life like you to make a difference like you made in alot of ours from the class of 79 we thank you very much

Coach was one of those rare individuals that changed lives and inspired minds. I thank God for sharing him with us. I pray that you will be comforted by knowing that death is only a portal to that greater life of joy where all who believes shall enter and rejoice .. declaring "troubles over!".

To the family of the late Coach Bob
Paremore, The Bible speaks of death as nothing but a place of resting for God's children. Death has no victory over the believer. Refrain from weepin and thine eyes from tears for thy work shall be rewared, saith the Lord. And there is hope in thine end saith the Lord. God has given His children an expected end, Be encourage today knowing that Heaven is a Heart away. My prayers are with you,
Pastor Mary Jenkins, Class of 1972 (Godby)

I have known China Doll for 60 years. We grew up together in Bond. He was like family. He will be missed.

Coach Paremore encouraged a shy young freshman female student in 1979 to run and give it her all. I took those words to heart and haven't stopped. I continue to give my all and have been very fortunate to receive in turn. His memory will live on as a story here and a story there will continue to teach his lessons as he taught them to me.
With warmest memories and a grieving heart,

I came home this weekend to a family reunion, and heard the news....I thought about years ago when I came into his presence...I was in awe, as a young girl...he and Bob Hayes ruled the coop....My experience with him was very positive...at Famu, I had the nerve to play Powder Puff football at his
coaching...to this day I don't know why...maybe it was his magnatism,that encourage me to do it.
We talked.
