Aubrey Horace Parker

Aubrey H. Parker returned to his Heavenly Home on May 23, 2005. To all who knew him as ?Grump?, he was the kind voice of compassion, and a friend. He will always be remembered as one who loved the outdoors, especially fishing. Aubrey was born in Gateshead-upon-Tyne, England November 10, 1907 and moved with his parents to the United States while still a young child. He grew up in Shelly, Idaho, Southern California, and Utah. He married his eternal sweetheart, Eleanor Stewart, on September 7, 1929. She joined the Church in June of 1933, and they were sealed in the Salt Lake Temple that same year. They have lived as examples of a celestial marriage for over 75 years. ?A.H? entered into business in Logan in 1936 as ?the Blind Man,? selling and installing window blinds, awnings and other canvas goods. He was a member of AOPA, and owned and operated his own airplane. He served for many years as Bishop in the Logan 6th, 10th and College Hill Wards, and was a high counselor in the Logan and Mount Logan Stakes three times. He was also the president of the Stake High Priest Quorum. He and his wife served a mission to Colorado and as ordinance workers in the Logan Temple for five years. His profound testimony and service in the Church has touched many lives, most recently as the Patriarch of the Providence South Utah Stake. Aubrey was the father of four sons: Stewart, who preceded him in death, David, Robert, and Alan. He was a proud grandfather, great grandfather and great-great grandfather at the time of his death. Funeral services will be held at 10:00 a.m. Friday, May 27, 2005 at the Providence 10th Ward Chapel, 355 Canyon Road. Friends and family may call Thursday evening at Nelson Funeral Home, 162 East 400 North, Logan from 6 to 8 p.m. and Friday morning at the church from 9 to 9:45 a.m. prior to services.
