Our deepest condolences to the family.
My brother Steve informed me of our father's 'buddy' David Parsons passing. We both recalled our favourite story of David told by our father the late George Parson (June 2017) and the weekly messages they sent to each other via the PSW they shared for a bit in 2017.
The story pertains to the slight differentiation of our last names - Parsons and Parson.
Many years ago while we were growing up in Elmira, Dad had arrived at the Legion for some friendship and camaraderie, Dad joined David and moments later David suggested that Dad needed to speak to his 2 sons.
David went onto inform him that his house phone had been ringing off the wall at inappropriate times in the evenings, the callers were girls asking to speak to Dads sons and this needed to stop! Although Dad found humor in this and David did not, he respected his 'buddy' and the words he spoke.
This story made our father laugh out loud every time he told it, thank you for that, David Parsons.
RIP
