PBA Hall of Fame import Bobby Parks passed away Saturday morning after battling laryngeal cancer. He was 51.
Junel Baculi, athletic director of National University where Parks also held a post, confirmed the news to InterAKTV.
Parks won a record seven Best Import awards in the PBA. He began his Philippine career playing for San Miguel Beer in 1987 before suiting up for Shell.
After retiring in 1998, Parks split his time between the United States in the Philippines.
He was diagnosed with laryngeal cancer in 2008, seeking treatment in Manila for his illness. With his cancer in remission, he settled for good in the country in 2010, after his appointment as assistant athletic director of National University.
In 2011, he was named coach of the San Miguel Beermen in the ASEAN Basketball League, leading the squad to a runner-up finish.
But he was forced to step down from his post last year after the relapse of his illness.
Parks’ remains will be interred at Heritage Park starting Sunday. He is survived by his son Ray, a two-time UAAP Most Valuable Player for the NU Bulldogs.
