When my boyhood favorite team played against Bernie Parent in the mid 70's I was absolutely terrified and was sure of defeat. Counting playoffs he was 113-34-25 in the Flyers back to back Cup years. A short peak but an intimidating stopper with style and swag. RIP. https://t.co/1kUGr6CxNf

Had the pleasure of spending some time with Bernie Parent last spring. He was always such a gentleman and class act. Willing to lend an ear and just listen or provide counsel based on his vast experience. He was a great man and will be sorely missed. RIP Bernie 🙏🏻 pic.twitter.com/Lvl6pOkhP3

Crushed would be a massive understatement. Bernie was obviously a Philly icon with his on-ice exploits alone but to know the man, to spend even a minute with him, you knew he was so much more. At so many charity events w/him, I always looked forward to his hug. RIP my friend. https://t.co/F6lOOq1old pic.twitter.com/Wo07RFtXsd

Who had more fun than Bernie Parent? The answer is no one.

Always a smile. Always a handshake. Always a thumbs up. He’d look at you and say: “What’s better than this?”

Only the Lord saved more than Bernie Parent. Godspeed to one of the great people of the game, a true original pic.twitter.com/UMlpOg3o0G

Such sad news to hear of the passing of @NHLFlyers legend Bernie Parent. Condolences to his family and many friends. Hard to imagine the Ken Dryden, Ed Giacomin and Parent are all gone within a matter of weeks. Heartbreaking.
