If he was on parole, he was convicted of some sort of felony or misdemeanor. You can only expunge summary offenses (things like disorderly conduct, harassment, etc.) in PA, after 5 years of arrest free behavior. He can apply for a pardon after about 10 years of arrest free behavior. You can look on line at the PA pardon process for more information.
