\nPark graduated from Blue Ridge High School in 1976 and went on to serve his country in the US Marine Corps, where he received training as a Field Artillery and Battery Man. He was assigned to the Delta Battery 210 Platoon.<\/p>\n
\nWhile visiting Italy, during a Mediterranean cruise aboard the USS Trenton, Park attended Easter Sunday services at the Vatican, where he was able to see and hear Pope John.<\/p>\n
\nPark enjoyed many years of volleyball at Green Gables and bowling with friends in Great Bend. He was an avid lover of music and a frequent concert-goer. He loved listening to Rush, Chicago, AC\/DC, Yes, Billy Idol, and so many more.<\/p>\n
\nHis love of trucks began as a child, enjoying the sound of jake brakes as the rigs passed his house. He learned to drive in the Marines, which encouraged his passion. He drove tractor trailer for 16 years with Kerr Motor Lines of Binghamton, NY. Park worked for over 20 years with USPS in Scranton, both as a driver and as a driving instructor.<\/p>\n
\nHe thoroughly enjoyed being a Grandpa: telling jokes, wrestling with the grandkids, swimming, flying kites, riding bikes, playing hide and seek, trips to local fairs, carnivals, local farms, Corning Glass Museum, baseball, basketball, and hockey games.<\/p>\n
\nA special trip for Park was attending his grandson\u2019s US Marine Corps Bootcamp Graduation at Parris Island, SC on September 19, 2024. This was the same Bootcamp he graduated from in 1976. He was able to show his grandson the exact yellow footprints that he had stood on when he arrived to Parris Island.<\/p>\n
