Debbie Parker wrote a sympathy message

“To Donna, Bryan and Amy - I was so sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. I knew your sister Donna from junior high 9th grade. I remember a time when I visited Donna one weekend and Mr. Sturkey was flying up to the Raleigh area to take pictures at a football game. He asked if Donna and I would like to go. We said yes,and that was the only time I had been up in a plane, to this day! That was such an awesome memory, and how gracious of a man that was your Dad! Debbie Parker”
