LANSING, Mich. — The remains of a World War II pilot from Lansing, Michigan, who died in 1943 when the military aircraft he was flying crashed during combat over New Guinea have been laid to rest next to his parents.
U.S. Army Air Force 1st Lt. Robert Parker’s remains were buried Monday at Deepdale Memorial Cemetery, with many of his nieces and nephews and their children and grandchildren in attendance.
“So many people are here. Unfortunately, not his folks. I would have loved it if they had been here because they were heartbroken,” Jane Moore, a niece of Parker’s, told The Detroit News.
