We have been informed that Cliff Parker has passed away. Cliff served as the Assistant EMS Director in Colleton County about 8 years ago. He left to accept a management position with Charleston County EMS and has served in that post since. For those who did not know him, he was really a great person. Cliff was a positive individual and a terrific EMS advocate. He will be missed. Shortly after he returned in mid February from assisting the citizens of Haiti following the devastating earthquake, it was discovered that Cliff had cancer. Prior to that, he was healthy and without complaint. Unfortunately he lost that short battle last week and died at home.

Arrangements are listed below. If additional information is received, we will get that out to you as soon as we receive it. Please keep his family in your prayers.

The family of Cliff Parker will receive friends on Tuesday, March 30, 2010, between 4:00 and 7:00 PM at the James A. McAlister Funeral Home, 1620 Savannah Hwy. A Memorial Service will be held at 1:00 PM Saturday, April 3, 2010, at Andell's Bluff, 4460 Bohickett Rd. John's Island.
