I don't know if you have been notified as of yet but this is the Rev. Parker
who was the Driver's Education instructor while we were in
high school.
After retiring from the school system he assumed his
pastoral positions full
time. For several years he was active in churches in the
Eustis area and
some of the surrounding areas.
He was a great help to me as I was preparing for the
ministry and his
daughter, Claudia, and her husband were in the Sunday School
class that I
attended upon visits back to Eustis (Bay Street).
Hope this will be helpful.

HI,,,,I've
lost two of my favorite people in the last bit of time....I worked many
times with Helen,,,she and Ben were building a home out in the country
and I was helping, when Ben passed away I finished it for her....we
worked together at the pool and Eustis hi....I also worked with Ben and
considered him to be one of the best teachers I ever knew...
Much the same with Mr. Parker,,,we were sponser of the same class
and I worked with him on other projects,,,He was top notch and a
wonderful model for all the kids who loved him dearly...
We'll miss them both tremendously....

Tommy Parker was a great pastor and loved to keep
the youth all in a neat grouper , he Said that we are the Sheep of his Pastures and that he was to try to help p out those who had need of a Father figure and that he loved all the people and not just one color person but all and that we were his kids and he cared for us all the time . he stands out as a Grand Father or Father figure to Humanity and all who follow his foot steps ,both male and female . |
