Andrew James Parker ’34

Andy Parker, who practiced internal medicine for 39 years at the Lewistown (Pa.) Hospital, died Feb. 11, 2007, in Port Charlotte, Fla., where he spent winters after his retirement in 1985. He was 95.

A lifelong member and an elder of the Lewistown Presbyterian Church, he was also a member of the Mifflin-Juniata Medical Society and a committee member of the Mifflin-Juniata Board of Mental Health and the Mifflin-Juniata Area Agency on Aging.

After his retirement, Andy became interested in genealogy and traced 15 ancestral families back to 18th-century America, including two, both Presbyterian ministers, who were early Princeton graduates.

Andy served in the Medical Corps during World War II, retiring in 1946 with the rank of major.

In Port Charlotte, he enjoyed taking classes at the cultural center and playing bridge. As he wrote a classmate not long ago, "I can still be an occasional winner at duplicate."

Andy's wife of 57 years, the former Frances Fiske, died in 1997. He is survived by a daughter, Judith; two sons, Andrew Jr. and John; two sisters; and a brother.
