Body

KENT PARKER died Apr. 28, 1990 after a prolonged struggle with cancer. Kent arrived at Princeton from New Trier High School in Winnetka, Ill. while at Princeton, he joined Court Club and played French hom in the Triangle Club orchestra. Kent left in junior year to serve three years in the U.S. Army. He received his degree from the Univ. of Illinois and then earned his master's at Indiana Univ. Returning east to N.Y.C., Kent joined Citicorp and was employed there for 27 years. At the time of his death, he was a senior trust officer. Throughout his life, Kent had a great love for musicorchestral and operatic. We remember his reserved but great sense of humor, his brilliant but subtle mind. In N.Y. he was active at the Fifth Ave. Presbyterian Church.

Kent is survived by his parents, Kent and Margaret Parker; three brothers, David, Frederic, and Wesby; and four sisters, Sarah, Mary, Margaret, and Grace.

To all the family we share their loss and memory.
