For those who haven't heard, my grandpa died peacefully in his home on Saturday morning. It's odd to say goodbye to someone who had such a large impact on my life by teaching me to garden, use dowsing rods(and sticks) to find water, play baseball, and so much more I can't begin to name! He always pushed me to do/be better than I was, to leave everything better than I found it, and to do things for the first time! I'll never forget our Dairy queen trips after lacrosse games and always appreciate you sitting there watching through rain, snow, sleet, wind, and whatever else Oregon threw at us. Jim Parker, you'll be missed more than you know. "When was the last time you did something for the first time" - my grandpa RIP 2/16/1937-2/12/2022
