James Cole STRODE

I did not know of Jimmy's death until Susie Walden told me today. Such a loss. Jimmy and I go back to our days at Kenwick Elementary, then Morton and Henry Clay. We shared childhood memories over lunch in 2007 after I returned to Kentucky; sadly, I did not stay in touch. Part of me is now gone.

Meredith,

My thoughts are with you. I cannot imagine your pain. Honestly.

LIke many, Pam and I remember Jimmy, Tommy and Ricky at Morton, and Henry Clay, and our hearts go out to the families. Learned to water ski behind the Strode boat at Herringtonm Lake, and my Dad, Homer Coggins, Administrator at Central Baptist Hospital, thought a great deal of Dr. Strode. We are getting older, but we have lost a giant.

Memories of days at Cassidy, Morton and Henry Clay...Jimmy was always a part of them, from first grade right on through. Sending thoughts and prayers to his family from another long-time classmate.

So many wonderful memories of growing up with Jimmy. Love and condolences to Meredith, Ricky, and the entire family. Godspeed, old friend.

I will always have good memories about Jimmy, Tommy and Rick and look at them as brothers. May Jimmy rest in peace.

It is so hard to lose friends that you have known a great portion of your life. Jimmy, you will be missed by many people.
May you now rest in peace. Sherry Fugett Maney, Class of '64.
