To Mr. Parker's family,
I am very saddened to hear the news, and I offer you my deepest condolences. I was lucky enough to be a student at the Harbour School while Mr. Parker was working there. We both shared a love for playing music, and I had the pleasure of jamming with him at a few school functions. Mr. Parker was a very special human being in that he was incredibly generous. He was generous in the way he cared, he was generous in his kindness, and was generous with his time to help improve the lives of many. As a former student, I will never forget individuals like Mr. Parker who helped me grow up to be the person I am today.
Although this is has been a difficult week for many, there are countless reasons to celebrate Mr. Parker's life. He definitely lived a rich and fulfilling one. May Mr. Parker rest in peace, and I hope you can find some comfort and closure in the fact that Mr. Parker had such a positive impact on me, and many others.
Regards,
Jake Lowenthal
