Life is a gift from God, our children, friends and even strangers are all gifts to be savored. Dan was a petson who had strong family ties and in his faith.
I have many fond memories of Dan during the years I knew him. The time we left at midnight for the Rose Bowl parade so we could get good seats, going to Palmdale to see where the stealth fighter was built, playing pool with him on his home and our week together in Hawaii.
Please accept my most heartful sympathies for your loss. My thoughts are with the Parcell family during this difficult time. He truly lived a full life and was a inspiration to all that knew him.

Little Grandpa's house used to give me the creeps. When us 4 cousins would stay the night at his house we would get all the pillows and blankets from the closet and build a huge bed on the floor of the living room. It was always fun to set up but was never very comfortable. I would always wake up I the middle of the night and it would be dark and everyone would be asleep. All I could hear were the crickets that lived under his fridge. I would get scared and sneak into Grandpa's room to sleep in bed next to him. When I woke up he would be at the kitchen table reading the paper and he would drop what he was reading and I would sit on his lap while he read the comics to me. He made me laugh so much. I will always cherish those memories.
Grandpa was and is the most selfless person I have ever met. Growing up I always noticed his frugal lifestyle. He would save dozens of rolls of one ply toilet paper that were 95% spent under his sink. I would find drawers full of coupon clippings that expired 10 years prior, and he had stacks and stacks of restaurant coasters for us to use. It wasn't until I grew up a little, and with Uncle Joe's help, I figured out why he did all this. It wasn't because he had to be frugal, he could have retired lavishly. He simplified his everyday life and saved every penny possible because he wanted to have enough to help us go to college, or follow our dreams. He lived every day of his life for his family and he put us all first. I am so grateful that I had a chance to learn what it means to be a great man, and I will remember his selflessness forever. I could probably write a novel about the ways he impacted my life but I think I've said enough for now. I love you Little Grandpa. I miss you so much

Dad,
Now you are singing and dancing once again, with all those who have gone before us and all of the angels.
We will miss your brilliant mind, your consistent optimism, your never ending patience and your unwavering love.
I will still discuss the books I read with you in my mind. I will be thankful for you every time I succeed at something. I will remember your smile whenever I am sad.
I am confident you are at peace. I love you.

Jenn, I love your five memories. Even though my kids are younger they also watched Goonies, played cards, remembered him always whistling and his Hawaiian shirts. He was the best grandpapa in the world. He would play for hours on end, never tiring. He was my summer hang out buddy. I would call him and ask if he wanted to go to the library with the kids and I, the park, the movies. It didn’t matter when or where we were going, his answer was always the same, a very enthusiastic yes. I know there were times that he probably was working on something, but he always dropped everything to hang out. I will miss him more than I can ever express. He was one of a kind. His kindhearted demeanor, caring eyes, joyful laugh and his wise words will all be missed. I know he is in a better place, just as I know he has made this world a better place. I love you grandpapa!

Anyone who knew grandpa and how kindhearted he was would tell you he was one hell of a man, brilliant too, and he loved his family. He was always going here or there to catch up with the people in his life. I really can't imagine he was ever bored or did not enjoy his retirement, that is for sure. These last 6 years or so have been quite difficult for all of us as we watch the man we all love weaken in the depths of the Parkinson's which has now overcome him. I didn't think this day would come and hoped it would not - but knew inevitably, life would slap me in the face just as it has now. He blessed us all with so many great times together, and in death, brings us together once again. I want to share some memories... limiting to just 5 was difficult, but here goes.
1) Playing spite and malice and pool with grandpa- he was sure a card and pool shark!
2) the movies, The Goonies, and Top Gun... these were staples of grandpas house and I will forever remember them as just that.
3) Waverunning at Clear Lake with grandpa, he was actually a pretty fast driver, dare I say, BA.
4) Grandpas whistling, humming, and Donald duck voice. He could sure carry a tune and did the best Donald Duck around♡
5) who could ever forget-grandpas hawaaian shirts. His selection was impeccable.
These are merely a few of the things that will remind me of grandpa-the memories with him and the family are endless. God bless his soul. Grandpa, you will be missed beyond words and I will forever remember you and the beloved memories that we shared ♡
