Thanks for all of the responses.
The board has decided to suspend the parent for the remainder of the season. The parent will be told that if there are any further altercations/situations regarding this particular parent, no matter how trivial, he will be banned permanently from all league activities.
The umpire will receive a verbal repremand from the President and the Umpire Chairperson. Additional instruction will be provided so that he may become a better umpire as a result of this situation. He knows he was provoked and that he did not deal with the situation as he should have. I think he will rebound well!
