Certain people come into your life and bless you with wisdom, laughter, knowledge and genuine kindness to what you do and who you are. Bob Parker displayed all these and more in my life. He passed on Monday 1/18. From the first time I met with Joan, Bob, Pearl (the third) and Rosie I felt more as a guest in their home than someone who worked there. He told me from the first couple of times I came by for Pearl that I would give him a break from his writing. On the other hand on the days I would see him with a hard glare at the screen I would know it was a quick hello (usually with no response) and then hi tail it out behind Pearl who was always in the lead.
I would hear stories from his earlier life, interviews with people that wanted to know more about him and quite often in Summer time it was the Red Sox.
Bob was someone that I felt very lucky to have met in my lifetime. He was one of those people that with everything fast and furious around him, he made time for the simplest things.
I will miss him and have very found memories of the time I was able to see him and his family.
