Default Dave Parker Obituary
I just learned that PGCA member Dave Parker recently passed away. I’m sure many of you knew Dave better than I as my acquaintance with him was through his Olathe Gun Shop in the Kansas City area. I spent good times in Dave’s shop, and always enjoyed talking guns and hunting with him. Folks like Dave help pass on the gift of our gun heritage. I know I learned much from him.

May his memory live on. It most certainly does in the gun I acquired from him.

Here’s his obituary notice: https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries...ry?id=55713405

Sorry to hear. I visited his shop a few times; didn't know him well but a nice fella.

I bought several Parkers and Fox shotguns from him, I was young and dumb when i first meet him with lots of questions about side X sides and he was extremely patient with me.
He will be missed!!!
