To Dave and the Stratton Family:
Sorry I could not be there for the service, but you have been in my thoughts and prayers. I too echo the sentiments of all my fellow Classical classmates about the kind and positive role your father played in many lives. I was not fortunate to have him as a coach, but recall fondly his kind spirit. May you all find peace and strength in knowing his spirit will live on in all those who he touched in life.
In Sympathy,
Chris

Blessings to the Stratton Family. There are many fond memories of Dave beginning at Buckingham through Technical High School. While we played hard inner city basketball, you taught us how to play and think the game before any other coach. And you were there for years supporting so many us until we went on to play college ball. All that you have done for me and others remain in my heart and mind. Thank you for given so much to so many.

Mr. Stratton will be dearly missed. He always had a smile and words of encouragement to all students. The world is a better place because of him. I was student of his from Central, but I met him at Classical. My prayers to the family.

The world is a sadder place without Dave. He was a loving husband, caring father, proud grandfather and a loyal friend.
