Donald Craig Parcells

West Point, 1965

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Dr. Richard Winant on January 13, 2018:

Don, many of us at River Dell High School called him "chubby", was a competitor and intelligent schoolmate. His presence was always felt. I played sports with him and he was looked at to make the play or inspire during a game.

Reading his webpage I was moved to think about his life and contributions to others. I had joined the Naval Reserve on December 7, 1961 while at college. I can now admit that the only time I ever routed for Army was during Donas years playing on the West Point team.

When his fellow River Dell schoolmates learned of his death, there was a great deal of discussion and sadness.

To his family, he is fondly remembered.
