Francis George "Bus" Parker 1916 - 2008 It is with regret that we announce the passing of Francis George "Bus" Parker on July 10, 2008 at Prince George Regional Hospital, and the passing of an era for the Parker family. Bus was born on January 3, 1916 in Carman, Manitoba. He was raised on the family homestead in Sperling, Manitoba, and before his death at age 92, was one of the last surviving members of the first generation of children born to homesteaders in the Sperling area. Bus knew every homestead family in the area and was a wealth of historical knowledge about settling and farming the southern Manitoba plains. Bus loved farming and over the years farmed both the family homestead in Sperling and a farm in Wisconsin. In addition, he had a career in auto mechanics and was, at one point, the head engineer for American Crop Dryer Association in Illinois. Bus was a dual citizen of Canada and the U.S. and spent a considerable amount of time on both sides of the border. Being in the U.S. at the time of WWII, he found himself serving in the U.S. Army as a noncommissioned officer, and his tour of duty took him throughout Europe during the war. He was a member of the unit that liberated Buchenwald concentration camp in Germany, an experience that he had difficulty sharing. Bus was fiercely independent. At age 90, he moved into a new home with "a bigger workshop" because he still had many projects he wanted to complete. He was very proud of many personal inventions, especially those that helped him stay independent in his old age. The one that gave him the greatest satisfaction was a device he invented that helped him put his coat on without having to raise his arms when his arthritis was acting up. Bus is survived by three daughters, Barbara Parker (Dr. Tom Young) of Prince George, Mary Ellen Rogers (Bruce) of Phoenix, Arizona, Teresa Hammitt of Los Lunas, New Mexico, one son, Andrew George (Holly) Parker of Afton, Wyoming, 16 grandchildren and 5 great-grandchildren. The family is extremely grateful to all those who helped Bus through the difficult path of Alzheimers, including Home Care staff in Carman, Manitoba, the Prince George Chateau, We Care staff in Prince George, Drs. Marquis, Veale and Drummond, and particularly the staff on IMU pod D whose kind and loving treatment made his final months special and satisfying. Bus' cremated remains will be interred in the Parker family plot with his parents and sister in Sperling, Manitoba at a later date.
