I’m sure similar fates have befallen a lot more nice Parkers, Foxes. Lefevers, and many others that will never again be seen or recovered. Capsized duck hunting boats of all sorts; lost overboard, left leaning against a tree never to be relocated. House fires, camp fires, the list goes on.
A very sad and unexpected end to a fine old Parker.
