The legacy of Buck Parrish


Phyllis Parrish, widow of Earl “Buck” Parrish, Class of 1955, posted on her Facebook page:

Earl "Buck" Parrish, wife Phyllis
“To all of the class mates of Earl W. (BUCK ) Parrish Jr Class of 55 I should have put something on here to let you know that my beloved Buck had an accident March 2009 and didn't survive.

“He was a donor and saved lives. His liver saved another person, two people were given his eyes, his tissue went to help save our servicemen coming back from the war and his lungs went to research.

“Buck and I were married 52 years when it happened. We had four girls, two boys, also 14 grandchildren and 22 great-grandchildren and still counting…

“This has been a difficult time for his family. Please forgive me for not letting you know.

“Phyllis”

Phyllis lives in Columbus, Ohio.
