Karl C. Parker, beloved husband, father, and grandfather, passed away on August 27, 2024 at the age of 82.

Karl was born in Gouverneur, New York, the son of Virginia Pascoe and Charles Parker. He graduated from GHS in 1960. He received Bachelors and Masters degrees in counseling at the University of Kentucky and attended UC Berkely in a doctoral program.

He will be remembered as among the kindest of men, with a willingness to laugh at himself and life, and be helpful to all.

He will be greatly missed.
