My sincere condolences to Dr. Parker’s family. 

I worked as his Webmaster for Back In Action in his main office in Corona California.

He was full of life, so energetic, always positive, had a heart of gold and just an amazing inspirational man overall.

It was so much fun working with him during his seminars with Dr, Bell and Connie.

Spoke to him a few times thru out the years and he was still so full of life and just great to connect with.

Will surely miss him.

Dr Bruce was an incredible human being!  He was a mentor, coach, colleague and friend to me. I am a better person and chiropractor for knowing him. Love you, Bruce!

I met Bruce Parker at Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, IA in 1973. We both were from San Diego, so that commonality was the catalyst for a friendship that spanned decades. Bruce was a great guy, fun to be around and a natural born entertainer. He had the gift of gab, and people naturally gravitated to him. 

We were roommates in chiropractic college and then again when we returned to San Diego.  We rented a third story  condo on Sail Bay with a a private dock. Bruce was a gifted water-skier, and had a nice ski boat. We had fun times skiing the early morning glass on the Bay and later on the Colorado River. 

Bruce opened a practice in Pacific Beach and we both started our chiropractic careers in that office at Garnet and Bayard. It was heady times. 

When I married my starter wife in Davenport in 1975, Bruce was my best man. He did a commendable job in that role, offering to hide me in a trunk bound to South America. I should have accepted the offer - that marriage wasn't very sticky.  So Bruce and I spent the first few years in practices as happy go lucky bachelors. The ladies seemed to like him - he wasn't exactly lonely.  He went through a few young maidens... quite a few, in fact. 

I introduced Bruce to Linda Schmidt, who was to become his wife. Linda and I had gone to the same high school, class of 1968, where she was a popular classmate for her sunny personality and her good looks. Everyone was delighted they got together.  

I got remarried, and  over the years the four of us had lots of laughs and good times. New Year's Eve parties, ski trips to Mammoth, dinners out - Bruce was always good for some entertaining times.

Like anyone else who knew him well, Bruce left an indelible impression on me. I could go on for hours about the impact he had on my life.  He was an unforgettable guy.

Rest in peace, my friend.

I have known Bruce, along with Mama Linda and my greatest childhood friend, Jennifer since I was 7-8 years old. They always took me under their wing for great adventures and opportunities. One adventure that stands out when I think of Bruce is when we all went to Las Vegas speedway (I think?) to watch him race his Porsche. I remember Jennifer and I thought we were so cool because her Dad was racing and we heard that Jerry Seinfeld was there racing also. OMG Seinfeld I’m making us sound old now. Anyways, I don’t remember who won or lost but I remember us driving back to where we were staying and the song, “We are the  Champions” by Queen blasting in the Suburban. I always think of him when I hear that song and I will cherish that memory and the time spent together. He was a wise man and super fun to talk with, an intellect and I know his legacy lives on through his daughter Jennifer and her beautiful family and Mama Linda. Love you guys!
