Gone but not forgotten...


Charlie Parmley
April 8, 1929 - April 21, 2011

Charlie ParmleyWe 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.
