Uncle Neal, I have such great memories of you! You drove across the desert every summer to bring me back to Porterville. You opened up your home when I most needed it at 14. You loved when I learned new words in vocabulary. Teased me about it for years. Only known to us. ?? you were the funniest and most gentle Uncle anyone could ever ask for. Our memories will always live in my heart. I love you forever and ever…??

Mr. Parrish was one of the finest men I have had the pleasure to work with. He served our GOD, our country and the health field with honor and integrity. He always was ready to tell you good morning and had pleasure making people smile and be happy even on a bad day, always pleasant and funny. You just grew to love him as a person. He would call his children every day to check on them and always wanted to know how we were doing. A good man, friend to all. Rest in the Fathers Kingdom my friend with your loved ones.

Our dad was a kind and gentle man. We were blessed to have you as our father. I miss your phone calls every day, and the sound of your voice. When our dad said he loved you he truly did. He truly loved his children, his family, and his friends. Until we see each other again, I will love you forever and always. You will always be my Hero.

Mr. Parrish will be greatly missed. I loved every time I encountered him in the hallway or at the nurses station. He loved to laugh with us and he brightened many of my days with his presence. RIP Mr. Parrish, thank you for your service and for being a wonderful person. You were a light in a sometimes bleak world.
