Jack Parry was born 7 December, 1937 in Lawrence, Massachusetts, the firstborn of John Edward Sr. and Laurette Annette Belair. He attended elementary schools in Lawrence, Massachusetts, and Livermore, California, graduating from Livermore Elementary School in 1951. In 1955, he graduated from Fremont Union High School in Sunnyvale, California.
He entered the US Navy in 1957 and was discharged honorably in 1960 while serving at USNAS South Weymouth, Massachusetts. Returning to California after discharge, Jack received an associate degree from Foothill College, Los Altos, California, in the Spring of 1963 and immediately returned to Massachusetts to continue his education.
He married Joan W. Michaud (whom he had met while in the service) in the Spring of 1964, and they had two sons, Jeffrey Alyn and Jonathan Adym. Jack took an engineering job with General Motors in Framingham, Massachusetts, at the time of his marriage, and continued with that company into 1970. He received his BS degree in Economics from Northwestern University in 1968.
The family moved to Middlebury, Vermont, in 1970, where he was employed with Standard Register Company as a Senior Engineer, and on to Orleans in 1972 when they bought Utton's Department Store.
Jack served in a number of capacities during his lifetime. They included: Trustee of the Village of Orleans; Clerk of the Village of Orleans; Treasurer of the Village of Orleans; as well as that of the Lake Region Union High School District (over 30 years) and the Orleans Elementary School. Jack also served as the treasurer of Rainbow apartments, an elderly housing complex in Orleans, and was their general manager for more than 22 years. In 1985 he was elected to the Board of Directors of the Orleans Cemetery Association, and became its Secretary and Treasurer shortly thereafter, a position he held until his death.
Jack's interests were many, but none surpassing his desire to know more about his family history, and therefore he became a consummate genealogist. He was totally interested in history, and had a keen affinity for computers and computer technology… he operated his own computer repair service from 1994 through 2002. Jack was an avid reader and continued to read until his death.
He is survived by his wife of more than 57 years, his son Jeffrey and wife Michele of the Villages, Florida, 2 grandchildren: Ethan David and Jenna Louise of Ft Myers, Florida, a sister Carol Goin of Visalia, California. In addition, there are several nieces and nephews, as well as treasured cousins in various locations around the Country.
Jack was predeceased by his parents, by his son Jonathan, a sister Judy Ann Welch in 1999 and a brother Richard Brian Parry in 2002.
