My father passed in August 2009 and he never knew his father. I am looking for anyone who may know a Herbert Ray Parker. My father knowledge was that he lived in California. He also was in the service and I believe that my father mother Helen Bowles (deceased Dec. 2010) met him in Oklahoma when she work there in the late 70's. She never gave much info about my father's father. For some reason it was kept in the dark. If anyone knows him please contact me as soon as possible. I have a void and need answers. Thank you and Blessing to you. Please email me a msvonn33@gmail.com Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
