Dear Proud to Be '83,

 I am sad to report Frank Parris died Wednesday June 9th  in Huntsville, Alabama. 

 Frank was an IT manager at Jacobs Engineering in Huntsville. He also was the Chair of the Educational Activities Committee for the IEEE Huntsville Section.  In this role,  he volunteered his time to judge between 10 and 15 science fair contests every year, including the North Alabama Regional and the Alabama State science and engineering fairs.

 John Tibbetts spoke to someone at the house who indicated it was unexpected.

Here is Frank's USMA Eulogy Page .

 

 Service was on Sunday, 3pm:

 Willow Brook Baptist Church

7625 Bailey Cove Rd SE,

Huntsville, AL 35802

 

Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to Laura and children during this difficult time.
