Dear Glenda and Family, We are so saddened to hear of Wayne's passing. We extend our heartfelt condolences to you all. Wayne was a role model to me and a cherished friend. I met Wayne in the early 90's and he offered me a human resources job with Willamette Industries Eastern Region. Wayne had the unique gift of developing relationships, valued opinions from others, and made everyone feel like a co-worker on a team. During my years with Willamette, I learned that Wayne Parker's input was highly regarded at all levels of the company. He imparted many words of wisdom to me throughout the years and I value them to this day. Best Regards, Dale & Susie Walsh

Wayne Parker was always a True Southern Gentleman! He served as a Role Model throughout my tenure with Willamette and the balance of my career in Wood Products. He will be sorely missed by a lot of folks.

Such a great man and truly a loss for the entire community. He was so positive and cherished our talks when we would see each other. I’m so sorry for your loss and you will all be in my prayers. I find peace in knowing that my friend is at home with our Lord and Savior. What a glorious homecoming it must have been.
Peace of mind is a call away. We're here when you need us most.

Glenda,Melinda,Judi and Michael, So sorry to hear of Wayne’s passing. He was always one of my favorite friends while at Tech and later while living in Ruston. Our families got started together and we had fun living next door to each other in Coach Blue Hogg’s little houses. Wayne lead a wonderful life and y’all had 63 great years together. RIP my friend.
