Earl Parker passes away
Facebook post of November 9, 2022 Parker Family Maple Farm
It’s the end of an era.
Sadly, we must share the passing of Earl Parker at the age of 88. Mr. Parker passed peacefully at home surrounded by loved ones. Although, we are all heartbroken by this loss, we are grateful for the innumerable ways that Mr. Parker has shaped not only our own family and farm, but the maple industry and our community as a whole. Many will remember Earl Parker as a prominent figure in the New York State Maple Producer’s Association, where he led initiatives such as maple weekends and other avenues to bring maple to the public. His passion for sharing the joy of maple season and the skills of farming with newcomers will always be remembered. We strive to carry on Mr. Parker’s generosity, work ethic and ingenuity in our younger generations and beyond. He certainly leaves big shoes to fill.
Obituary and plans for services to be shared soon. The Parker Family thanks everyone for their condolences.
