A true gentleman

I fondly remember "Coach Stranahan" from my varsity tennis days at Maumee Valley (class of '69). He was a bit of a nerd, yet a successful in his career and quite an athlete, a welcome role model I needed at that age. I recall his driving a fellow student's car to a tennis meet, when the transmission overheated. It was the first time he had driven an automatic transmission and thought that "low" sounded better than "drive." We still made it there and back. Now in Colorado, I've not met...

To The Stranahan Family,
Please accept my condolences on the passing of Mr. Stranahan.
I am so sorry.
Mr. Stranahan was such an incredibly talented, kind and caring gentleman.

He was there for everyone he knew. He will be missed but never forgotten.
His legacy will live on forever.
He will always be fondly...

Duane "PAT" Stranahan......Pure Undiluted Class....... So Sad To See He Has Passed a Real Honor To Have Known Him and HIS Grand Family From The Banks Of The AuSable River Where Pat Was an AVID/ EXSPERT TROUT FISHERMAN..... John "Kevin" Gardiner and The Gardiner Family @ MSU's Camp Wa Wa Sum

Pat was one of those rare individuals you meet in life who stands up and stands out. A man of both wit and wisdom, it was always a joy to be with him. I am a better person for having known him.

I shall always remember Pat as a most friendly, wise, and considerate trustee with whom I was fortunate to share board service. He was the very definition of a real gentleman, spiced with an infectious and kindly sense of humor.
