Leave a tribute for Paul Jeffery Parker.
Paul was a dear and close friend to my family and I. We grew up together and were neighbors for 55 years. I will never forget all of his advice and friendship. He had a great sense of humor and always very thoughtful. I will cherish the time I spent with him during our childhood. Prayers to his brother, Larry.
So very sorry for the loss of Paul to the Parker family! My thoughts and prayers are with you!
It was such a great pleasure to have you in our lives Paul! We will never forget all the amazing stories you shared with us. There's a place in our heart that will always be for you! The hill wont be the same without you. We love you and miss you. Rest easy my friend 🤍 -Cari, Jake, Rylan & Canon Black
My deepest sympathy to the family. Paul was a fried since the 70's
Paul was a good friend in school. We had such great times in study hall. I'm sure he will be missed by all. Thoughts and prayers be with his brother Larry 🙏🙏
Paul was a loyal friend, a kind soul and always thinking of others. I was privileged to call him friend from the early 1970s at Broughton Hospital. We worked on the Adolescent Division and he was a great role model for the youth, always kind and consistent with the rules. Rest In Peace, my friend.
Paul will be dearly missed by our family. He was a special friend for many years.. We love you Paul
You've been like a brother to me. We lived with one house between yours and mine for 23 years and never had a word. That may be a record for both of us. I will miss you daily and remember you when we were kids. playing under "the tree" in your yard. I'll remember us working at Broughton at the same time. I'll try to forget the past month, with all the trials and problems you faced, and hope I am as brave as you, when it's my turn to go. Turn around a few times and I'll be there with you. Meanwhile, so long old friend.
