He enjoyed playing chess, solitaire, working crossword puzzles, and Country and Gospel music, including writing some songs. He was a saw miller by trade. Parker lived a full and blessed life. He always had a smile for everyone he met and found joy in everyone. He was a very giving person if he thought you needed something he had he would quickly offer it to you. He enjoyed walking everywhere he went. He told his family he had walked from one end of Floyd to the other and made friends all along the way. Parker was from the old school Buffalo Mountain ways. He and others like him are a rare breed. He will be missed by all who knew him.
