"I am truly sorry for your loss. Babe was such an icon. My family had the chance to meet Babe and his young family when in the summer between my 8th and 9th grade our family relocated from Long Island to West Acton. MA. Babe was with the Jets then, and we crossed paths as they were moving out. It was a real highlight meeting Babe and his family, even for that brief time. I followed his career after that. . Bless and protect his family."

""Sweet Kentuky Babe", I dont think another quarterback tutored more successful quarterbacks than Vito Parilli. At Green Bay, he tutored Bart Starr so well that when returning from Military duty, Bart was #1 and of course Babe moved on to Canada, not unlike Doug Flutie whom I believe the NFL missed out with Doug also. Humble is how I knew him to be and I know he loved his son Vance. Please look in his cell phone for Bob Fraser and call me for an update on your dad's real presence in my life. I know that he is soaring with eagles and may he rest in Peace.

"Dear Parilli Family, I am deeply saddened by the passing of my dear friend and Air Force veteran Vito Babe Parilli. It was a great honor and joyful time that we spent together in North Africa in 1954-1955. to me Babe Parilli was the greatest QB to ever play the game of football.No one could throw a football as fine as he could. Since I was on the receiving end of a few hundred of them, I should know! God bless you Babe and God bless the entire Parilli family. I am so glad I was able to talk to him about our old times while he was still at Lincoln Center. Since I have just finished a long period of hospital time I just got the news today J.R.E."
