Babe you always brought a smile to all of us golfers here at Heather Ridge. We were all so proud that you chose our country club to spend your last golfing days. I have special memories being with you, especially when you called me your MVP when we were teamed up. This world is a better place because of you. "Kentucky Babe", RIP.

Babe was the classiest, most humble coach I ever had (Stars). I had the chance to see him a few times in Scottsdale before his passing. A true gentleman. Rest in Peace.

Although this is many years after Babe's passing I wanted to add my sentiments. I'm still saddened at the lose of this talented, kind gentleman. Thanks Babe it was a joy knowing you.

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.

You were a standup Man and i am glad i knew you.Rest in Peace

"Sweet Kentuky Babe", I dont think another quarterback tutored more successful quarterbacks than Vito Parilli.

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...

My condolences for your loss. May the God of comfort continue to be with all of you.

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...

I would like to express my deepest condolences to the family for their loss. May you find comfort and help in God during this time of mourning.
