Many Thanks to All of You

All,
I wanted to make sure that each of you had a link to the obituary in today's News & Observer. You can view it here. I believe they have a way for you to leave comments if you'd like-- but please know that this is totally optional-- I just wanted to make sure you had the information.

As I mentioned in yesterday's post, we have made the funeral arrangements. We hope to see you there if you are able to make it, but we totally understand if you will not be able to. I also wanted to pass along a couple of links to you. As many of you were aware, dad served on the national board as an executive officer for the American Society of Plumbing Engineers. Dad was passionate about his profession and was very proud to contribute to ASPE in any way he could. Well, today I came across two Web sites for ASPE that have very nice remembrances of dad on their home pages. Here are the links:

America Society of Plumbing Engineers home page: http://www.aspe.org

ASPE Charlotte Chapter: http://www.aspecharlotte.org

There may be others, but these were the ones I saw as incoming links to dad's blog, so they were the only ones I had available. On behalf of our family, I want to thank each of you for the ways in which you've helped us and remembered dad in the past few days.

As always, thank you and we hope to see you soon.

The Parks Family

  1. What a fitting tribute for your DAD on the ASPE home page (http://www.aspe.org) as well as the ASPE Charlotte one. Very, very nice.

    JON, Cassie, and Brenda,

    Linda and I have been away from our e-mails and out of town for several days now, so we are very saddened to learn of Norman's death. We deeply regret being unable to visit with you all and attending the funeral. Please be assured of our prayers for you all during this difficult time. I hope that we will have opportunity to express our sympathy in a personal way soon.
    May the great grace of Almighty God, and His peace that surpasses all our understanding, keep you in His love and care.
    with HIS love,
    Harvey
