Date of death: April 29, 2001
Milton Joseph, or Jack, as he was called in the family circle, is a late father of our today hero. Unfortunately, the man died in a car crash in 2001`and was survived by his wife and kids. He was alone in the car when the accident happened, and during many years his son Jim and daughter Julie Pruski didn’t even know the details of his death. That’s why they participated in the TV program “Long Island Medium” with the medium Theresa Caputo, who tried to connect them with their dad.
Obviously, Jim Parsons was very close with his father and was overwhelmed by his tragic departure. He still remains an inseparable part of his life. Jack was a successful businessman, who ran the plumbing company, and a loving husband, who constantly gave roses to his wife (and this picture from the past was seen by the medium).

The wife of a rich businessman, she could easily quit her job many years ago, but she continued working and educating kids of primary school age.

Now, when Judy is retired, she can devote all her free time to gardening – her main hobby.
