s/o Alfred B. and Annie (Hardiman) Parker; h/o Shirley (Mack) Parker
He attended St. John's Catholic School in Concord.
Gene joined the US Airforce and was stationed at Bolling AFB in Washington, DC during this time he married Shirley Mack of Epsom on October 17, 1953. He participated in the "Operation Red Wing" hydrogen bomb testing on the Bikini Islands in the South Pacific.
After leaving the service, Gene drove for Manchester Dairy, Wirthmore, Feeds and Agway Feeds, delivering grain to many farms in NH and VT. His family could leave him at the fam building at the Deerfield Fair and come back hours later and he would still be talking to all the farmers he knew.
He became a police office for the town of Epsom in 1969, eventually becoming police chief, and retiring from the police force in 1977.
Gene and Shirley purchased a Winnebago motor home, eventually living in it fulltime. They were members of the Granite State Winnies, FMCA and Good Sam Club. They traveled around the eastern parts of the US and Canada, spending their winters in Florida.
After the loss of his wife, Shirley in 2002, he still wintered in Florida until he sold the motor home. He has since lived at the Epsom Elderly housing unit in Epsom until his death.
Family members include (removed for privacy). In addition to his parents, he was predeceased by his wife, Shirley; his daughter, Joanne; his sister, Mary Scott; and his brothers, Richard and George Parker.
