Very sad news today. The Times-Pic reports that John Hogan, the owner of Parasol's, has passed away. Locals were rather skeptical when the bar was sold to Hogan, a Florida native, and his wife Thea? who was born and raised in Marrero? back in 2010. But customers remained loyal, and Thea Hogan says her husband, "loved it here, and everybody loved him. This bar was everything to him." [NOLA.com]
