I did a long interview with Bob Parker in 1998, from which I'll post excerpts shortly. If you didn't know already what a nice, interesting, unassuming, and very funny guy he was, the interview will show you.
Meanwhile, a few Bob stories:
1. He and his future wife Joan met when they were three, at a birthday party. She hurled a glob of ice cream into his face and he burst into tears. Which I guess proves that even tough guys can cry.
2. Bob built the shelves in Kate's Mystery Books on Massachusetts Avenue in Cambridge.
3. He once described himself as "an overnight success, at the age of forty."
