Daniel Leland Strait

My deceased husband, Jim Holmes, and I were good friends of the Strait family. I have memories of sharing good times with Dan, Irene, Robert, and family. My father had sold Baldwin pianos in Waco, Texas so we bought our Baldwin Acrosonic piano at Strait Music Company. It is now in the home of my daughter and son-in-law Margie and Chris Culpepper and enjoyed by my Great Granddaughter Evangelina "Eva" Wheeler who will be 1 on October 2nd.

A great friend, golfer and friend. He loved life, was a great entrepreneur and a wonderful member of Great Hills Country Club. Rest easy, my friend.

One important aspect missing from the obituary was Dan's bridge prowess. For several years he and Irene joined several other couples at Great Hills CC for a regular couples' bridge game. Despite his age he was a formidable opponent but always with a twinkle in his eye. He wil be sorely missed.

Bless you for your kind words. Thank you for sharing your memories of my father. Best to you & yours.

Dan you were a beacon to many. Your calm and endearing demeanor was a light to many. How blessed we were to know you . Thank you Lord for giving us Dan, if only for a brief time. Rest in peace, your earthly mission is complete, now we look forward to seeing you once again, in eternal life. Irene has welcomed you with open arms. What a beautiful plan, by our creator.
