Nicely said. I too took what I could from Parker’s work as a way of living, altho my dad was a great guy, too. Going to miss these books…

I’m surprised you didn’t choose Hawk to model yourself after (smartass remark). Your tribute to Parker is moving. I patterned my life on the Gray Mouser.

Enjoyed this.

I found Parker at a rough time in my life and started reading the Spensers. Being as anal as I am, I read them from beginning to end(at least up to that point. A new Spenser I always looked forward to).

Spenser, Susan, and Hawk became friends, as did all the various people that helped out now and again. Jesse Stone soon followed, Also Sunny Randall, Cole and Hitch, the added Marlowes.

(sigh)Mr. Parker will be missed. RIP
