Allen Bernard Straka

Al was a friend from our days at Chagrin Falls high school as was his wife Margo. Memorial Day on our patio will not be the same. God Bless

When we moved next door to Al & Sue on River Rd they were so kind to welcome us to the very small neighborhood. And showed us what rural life was like and how to adapt. We have great memories of times with our neighbors, raising children together. Al was a great bartender, always asking if he could "freshen " that drink for you. Even though we moved out of state we would get together with Al & Margo along with the other neighbors when visiting Ohio family. We will surely miss him.

Deepest sympathies to Margo and all who loved Al. He will be missed by many.

Uncle Bob taught me how to shoot a 22 pistol and rifle of which he burned my initials and gave to me Then uncle took over teaching me to hunt, we had many great days in the field and some with uncle Joe . I was named after uncle ( lee Allen), he used to baby sit me . My friends and I would go to shoot by the point and camp out there . Later we would take girls camping in the back. My close friends would call Ruth aunt Ruth and Al uncle Al. I can´t help but cry as I´m writing this, the times...

Uncle Al was a wonderful man with a great sense of humor! Always smiling and enjoying life. Even though we lost touch through the years, my aunts and uncles were always in my heart. I remember when I was young going to Uncle Chuck´s and Aunt Dee´s for a calm bake. We all had so much fun laughing and making beautiful memories. Uncle Al, you will be so missed. My deepest sympathy to the family.

My deepest condolences to his wonderful family. Al was a great friend and good human being. I will miss him. Also rest in peace, my friend.

My Dad was my rock. He was a wonderful father and friend to me. I miss our conversations, your laugh and smile. Thank you Dad for everything you did for me through the years. I was lucky to of had a father as special as you were. Love you

He was my uncle and my role model My golfing buddy and truly like a second father I miss him now but know that he is being welcomed in heaven and that is comforting Love you uncle and thank you for great memories
