Edward S. Strother

Mark,

I'm so sorry to see that your father passed away. He was a wonderful teacher. I still remember his class on classical rhetoric as one of the best I ever had. He had a huge influence on thousands of students!

Your family will be in my prayers.

Dear Mark, I so wanted to be there to celebrate your dad's life. I respected his work so much. Take care and know that I am with you.Pat Haynes

Life every man holds dear; but the dear man holds honor far more precious dear than life.
-William Shakespeare
Dr. Edward Strother was a fine man...

I yet remember my interview with this gentleman, in hoping to earn a Graduate Assistantship at Ball State that summer of 1978, as he spoke with a combination of gentle, friendly yet commanding speech. It must have gone well, for I was able to enjoy a special academic year there under his overall leadership. One of the most accessible yet subtly powerful folks I have ever met, and I only regret that I didn't get to work with him more closely in either classroom or theatrical production. ...

Please accept my sincere condolences on the loss of your dear father and grandfather. May your fond memories and the peace that God gives comfort and strengthen you during this difficult time. Phillipians 4:6,7,13

We are so sorry for your loss. May God give the strength and comfort needed at this most difficult time. Isa. 61:1,2

May the God of all comfort strengthen the family during this time of deep sorrow. Those who pass on, God keeps in his memory because they are precious in his eyes. My sincerest condolences. (Psalms 116:15)

Please accept my deepest condolences. In this difficult time, may you find peace in the god of all comfort.
