I had the incredible blessing to have Coach Parkin coach me in Baseball 45 years ago! What an incredible Man! Great teacher and coach. My Baseball skills probably left me @ 11. However his kindness and toughness left a bigger impression on me to this day. My condolences to the Parkin family. Your husband, Father, Grandfather touched many lives. I was fortunate to be one of them. Please celebrate the life you had with him! Scott
