Charlie Parmley
April 8, 1929 -
April 21, 2011
We lost the second half of a legacy on April 21st when Charlie Parmley,
82,
passed away after suffering a massive heart attack. Charlie and Joe McQ. started
the Big Book Studies in the early 70's, traveling the world carrying the AA Big
Book Message. He
touched the lives of hundreds of thousands of people all over the world with his
understanding of the Big Book and way of interpreting it in a way an average
drunk could understand. They say that when the student is ready...
the teacher will appear! Last night we lost a great teacher.
Charlie was the co-founder of the House of Hope Inc. Recovery
Center in Grove, Oklahoma and was a 41-year old friend of Bill
W. In lieu of flowers, memorials in his name can be sent to The
House of Hope in Jay, OK. Their website is www.houseofhope.com.
Please say a prayer for his wife, Barbara and his children. If
folks would like to contribute - just a suggestion - send a
little something extra in Charlie P.'s name to your local
Central Office. I think Charlie would have liked it that way.
