May God bless the memories we have of John. How precious they are. And may the Lord bless his dear family.
John loved Jesus, his wife and children, the ministries at Y.L.F.C. and the lost. He was able and willing to tell anyone that would listen about the Lord and how He could change lives.
Attending his S.S.Class was a real joy, not only for me but for many. His teachings from God's Word were truthful, meaningful and sometimes funny. The way he would get worked up telling his stories and getting his point across with phrases like "that old dog wont hunt" and "they think they got the world by the tail with a downhill pull" couldn't help but get your attention.
I loved John's friendliness. When John was in the room you knew it. He was mixing with people he loved and finding out what the Lord was doing in their lives.
John loved gospel music and loved to sing even though he was not always in- tune which didn't matter; He was in the Spirit. He used to kid me by saying I wouldn't let him sing in the choir. Often he would greet me by trying to sing the phrase of the secular favorite "O Danny Boy---". I always felt
Christian love and affection from John Parker.
I know John is rejoicing in the presence of Jesus and I'm so happy for him.
To Virginia, Lauralyn and Howard, may the Dear Lord comfort you with His sweet Spirit. Love you all.
