Third of nine children of Allen C Parker & Alice E Cogdell Parker; WWI veteran; husband of Ethel Ray Morrison Parker; father of 12 children; and loving grandfather of 30+ grandchildren.

Larger than life to us grandchildren, he stood 6'4" and weighed around 300lbs in his heyday. He loved to fish, garden and make tools in his little shop. His many adventures, in a life lived on his own terms, made him a legend in his own time. We sure do miss this gentle giant. Rest peacefully Grandpa.
