Kat Rossman wrote a sympathy message

“Dear Parker/Howard family, When I moved from my hometown in 1987 to attend graduate school at the University of Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg, Dr. Parker showed me around my new campus even though my graduate program was in another department just because his niece Becky and I are friends. It was such a kind action for him to welcome a new student to the campus. I will always appreciate that. Prayers and condolences for all of you as you mourn the loss of your beloved family member.”
