Condolences to this beautiful family! Mrs. Martha Strawn taught me in junior high. She was thoughtful, kind, warm and thorough. May she and the rest of the Strawn family be consoled at this time. May Dr. Strawn rest in peace from a well traveled life journey. Sincerely, Patricia K. Perry, M.D.

John and Susan so sorry to hear of your dad's passing. My son Travis and I still live here on the place in Arkansas that you're Grandpa E.J. and Grandma Ruth owned. We love and cherish the place. Prayers for all.

A long time family friend and physician...long history with the Mattingly family....special man....

Dr. Strawn was our doctor and knew all the ways to treat us. Maybe Dr. Strawn will meet Joe in heaven, and they'll renew their medical friendship. It was my pleasure to have Dr. Strawn treat me. Joe always thought highly of his expertise in medicine. May the family be blessed to have had such a good man as Dr. Bob Strawn.

A great doctor and a great man

Through our son Brian´s marriage to Elise, it has been wonderful to get to know Bob and Martha. Bob was a special man. When you were with him, his kindness and intellect stood out. We´re so grateful to be connected to Martha and the Strawn family. Our shared granddaughter/great-granddaughter, Lucie and the time she spent with Bob will be a connection that will endure.
