He was a masterful, yet humble, teacher who truly loved that blessing. He served in many church callings and was devoted to each. He especially enjoyed the time he spent in volunteer service at the Utah State Penitentiary. Roy loved music and put his college education to good use by sharing that love with many piano students (again including his own four children) and choir members. Sunday afternoons and evening bedtimes were always a calm experience with the beautiful music he encouraged. He also dearly loved nature and the wonderful world our Heavenly Father created for us. He especially enjoyed feeding and watching the birds. He always noticed and loved trees, even taking their pictures to remember them from different areas and countries. He leaves behind his loving wife, Beverly; children, Stephen (JoDeane) of West Jordan, Utah; Mark (Shelli) of Wexford, Pennsylvania; Kristen (Mark) Seethaler of Sandy, Utah; and Heidi (Bruce) Barrett of Columbia, Missouri; 28 grandchildren whom he loved and enjoyed so much; one great-granddaughter and two new little spirits whom he will meet before we do.

Parker, Thomas Oliver Thomas Oliver Parker 1918 ~ 2005 "A Remarkable Life" Our beloved father, grandfather and great-grandfather, Thomas O. Parker, gently passed from us on March 13, 2005. We will greatly miss the Patriarch of our family. He was a great example of devotion, planning, hard work, frugality, humor, and education. He diligently served The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, his community and his family. He was born on March 2, 1918 in Provo, Utah, to George Proctor Parker and Nellie Oliver Parker, an infant survivor of the great flu epidemic. Born with quick mind and a courageous attitude, he graduated from East High School at age 16, and was honored as an All American in football. He graduated from the U. of U. at age 20 in business and then served a mission for the Church in upstate New York. He met his beloved wife, Judith Wirthlin, through his football friend, her brother, Joseph B. Wirthlin and they were married in the Salt Lake Temple on May 23, 1941. They were blessed with six children. Dad graduated from the U. of U. Law School Cum Laude in 1948 and like his father, grandfather and brothers began a career of public service. He worked 28 years for the Department of Interior, and was appointed its Regional Solicitor. He had a passion for improving the economics and livability of the West through the development of the national parks and forests, and water and hydro-electric power projects. His last government service was as Director of Claims Settlement for the Teton Dam disaster. Retiring from government service at age 58, he continued in private law practice, served on the Utah State Board of Prisons, and did legal consulting on International Water Law, including trips to China and the Middle East. He traveled extensively throughout the world with his wife, making friends for the Church, for Utah and for his family. He was a service missionary for the Copyright Department of the Church. During this time, he encouraged and supported Judith in the obtaining of her Masters and Doctorate Degrees. He and his wife, Judith served three additional missions for the Church: in the Temple View Stake Lamanite Ward, as Special Representatives of the Church in Egypt, and as Director of Hosting at the BYU Jerusalem Center. He also supported and assisted Judith in her many Middle East projects of music, archeology, village improvement, women's rights, and literacy. They supported five sons on international missions and strongly encouraged missions among their grandchildren. They served together in the Church Hosting Program at Temple Square for 10 years, befriending important national and international visitors and making them feel welcome. He was first and foremost a family man, fiercely loyal to his wife and children, with high expectations, but always a rock in the middle of trouble or storm, and his clear thinking and support in solutions have benefited each member of his family. He built a cabin in Millcreek Canyon, a home on Salt Lake's East Bench and acquired a townhouse in Bloomington, all of which he enjoyed immensely, but always as environments for his extended family to be together. He is survived by his children, Thomas W. (Joanne), G. Preston (Marilee), Judy Eileen Jones (Allan), Kent W. (Patricia), Jonathan W. (Kathy), David W. (Roxane), 31 grandchildren, and 28 great-grand-children. Preceded in death by his beloved wife, Judith, and by three grandsons: Jonathan Sharp Parker, Bryant Jeffrey Parker, and Thomas Paul Parker.
