My love and condolences to all the Parker and Potter family members. Jack was a wonderful brother-in-law. In addition to mutual respect and affection, we shared a love of books and music. I shall miss him, and I will always remember his wonderful smile.

Hi Doris:
My Deepest Condolences. I am grateful though because I know that he is happy with the Lord. "To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord." Our sadness is from our loss in this life, but as Christians we know, and can comfort ourselves in, the knowledge that he is now with the Lord, preparing for the day when we will all be with him again. For now, we can remember & smile at the memories, laughter & kindness that John has left us with, and there are many! Thank you Doris for standing with, and loving such a kind and wonderful man. I continue to keep you in my prayers. May the Lord comfort you & help you to smile through your loss.
All My Love:
Drew

My condolences to the Family . I only got to know John for a short while , as I was one of his caregivers in his last months of life. He had a great since of humor and a good heart always concerned with his wifes well being even though he was going thru his own illness . I was very blessed to have been apart of his life even if it was only a short period of it .

My sincere condolences to all of John's family. I know you will miss him, as I will. I have known John, as a coffee mate, for the last 10+ years. Needless to say, we became good friends. Those are many fond memories now. I will miss him.

Mrs. Parker
I am not sure if you remember but I saw you and Mr Parker recently at Marcella's while eating dinner and told him that I recognized him immediately as him being my teacher at Van Antwerp. I was very touched at his reaction and so was my husband. He is one teacher that I will never forget for his kindness and patience.
You along with the rest of your family are in my thoughts.
