My grandpa was always an inspiration for me.  And always will be.  I love him very much.  I remember very many moments, some of which where tours of the television station, sitting in his office as I was a kid, going fishing, camping, flying kites, showing me the hidden signals in television broadcasts, my graduation project, the dayton air force museum... talking on the phone about Germnay, what my typical day is like, the list of pleasent memories goes on and on.   I will miss him very much.

Mrs. Parker, Mark and Diana,
One of our most fond memories of Mr. Parker was years ago when we were going to watch Abby for just a weekend, he showed us how to precisely cut up the hot dogs, which was the only thing she ate, exactly how she liked them.  We thought this quote from Emily Dickinson is appropriate for all of you, "Unable are the loved to die.  For love is immortality".  Sending you prayers, comfort and peace during this difficult time.
Much love,
~Michelle and Diane

Mark,

my condolences to you and your family.  I didn't know your father too well, but I did enjoy watching Bengal football with him. :-)

You and your family will be in my prayers.  I hope you all have a safe and Merry Christmas.

Life is so short, and we treasure the relationships we have shared, looking forward the the eternal now when we will all be together in a happier place forever. You know the quality of the parent by the character of the children. Diana is a reflection of the greatness of a fine parent. Many prayers for James Donald Parker and the whole family. Barbara Moran

When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure.   God bless you, Diana, and your family.

Things aren't the same without you Jim, really miss seeing you on the front porch everyday. Your "little buddy" is sure going to miss you. Thanks for being so great to him.  Johnny loved the scooter rides and when you would get down on the floor to play!  Glad we got to share some good times together.  We will never forget you!

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal,
Love leaves a memory no one can steal.
When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure!
Rest in Peace Dad I love you!

I'll forever remember and cherish all the wonderful memories I have. The fishing and camping trips we had and the warm spot I had next to you in your chair. 

I love you.

Phyllis we are very happy that you and Jim were in our life, and we got to know you guys. We had a lot of good times with both of you. We could not ask for better neighbors, We love you and we will miss Jim. May god bless you and your family.
