Harold Cheney “Hal” Parish |
  Harold Cheney “Hal” Parish, 76 of Richwood, died peacefully Saturday evening, June 11, 2016 at his home surrounded by his loving family.
He was born July 8, 1939 in Marion to the late Wilbur and Cleo (Cheney) Parish. He was also predeceased by one brother, Eugene “Gene” Parish and one sister, Elizabeth Ann Neumann.
On September 24, 1959 at the Essex United Methodist Church he married his high school sweetheart, Elma Tanner and she survives.

He raised his family in Upper Arlington and then Dublin, where he remained until he retired in 1995 from C. V. I. and moved back to Richwood. Even during his 'retirement' years, he worked as an engineering consultant designing cryogenic heat exchangers.
Hal truly enjoyed spending time with his children, grandchildren, and friends. He attended many, many graduations, baptisms, birthdays, and school events.

Every time I saw Hal, he always had a smile on his face and a twinkle in his eye. I remember him as always being kind and loving. We may be one family member short, but Heaven just became an even brighter and warmer place.
