Not sure what to say?

There are so many wonderful things I can say. I thought I would look up my friend and would find that he has left us here on earth. I will miss him. He was my orthodontist and my daughter's. As well as he was our referring orthodontist for many years. Rest now and for ever Bob! Kevin Bowens

BOBBY DALE WENT TO DENTAL SCHOOL WITH MY FATHER--DR.DONALD(DONNIE) C. FREEMAN....HE KNEW HIM BEFORE I WAS BORN...I CAME ALONG ON JANUARY 4TH 1961(ONLY SIBLING BORN IN MEMPHIS!)I HAVE WONDERFUL YET VAGUE MEMORIES OF THOSE 3 YRS LIVING THERE. I SAW PHOTOS OF MY OLDER BROTHER & SISTER--DANA & ALLISON..ME--BEEBE(BETH)WITH BOBBY DALE WEARING US LIKE A NECKLACE...HE LOVED US SO VERY MUCH....HE WAS MY DADDY'S BEST FRIEND....& AS YOUNG CHILDREN, WE KNEW THAT!.....HE HAD TO BE THAT SPECIAL...OUR DAD...

I just learned of Dr Stringfellow's passing. He was such a wonderful man, and a wonderful doctor. I was his patient at Westcliff Mall, first seeing him in the late 60's. He watched me grow up, last seeing him professionally at 21. What a precious man! I know he has a special place in a lot of hearts. He gave us beautiful smiles and touched all of our lives.

Bob Stringfellow practiced dentistry with my father Maurice Starkey in Sulphur Springs for many years. I was one of Bob's first patients after specialty training in orthodontics. I still use the retainer he made for me 45 years ago. I will forever miss uncle Bob.

Nooooooo!! I am saddend to hear this! He gave my braces close to 16 years ago! He was always so kind, my most recent visit close to 4 years ago, I could tell his mind was leaving him..I'll miss you!!

Dr. Stringfellow was my doctor back in high school. My brother and I went in and I was the one who needed braces. Even though he only met my brother once, he remembered him and asked about him often, "is he the president yet?" and questions along those lines. He always had a joke to say and would make the best of my situation. Lol. He will be missed and I send my condolences to his family. I just wish I could have seen him one last time before his passing, but I know we will met again in heaven.

Dr. Stringfellow was my orthodontist when I was in high school and he had his office at West Cliff Mall. I met him when I hurt myself at the mall after hours, and my mother took me to the professional building there to see if anyone was still there. We always laughed about having met when he examined my hand. He was always a bright spot in my day and a perfectionist. God bless him and all who loved him.

I Am beyond heartbroken to know my favorite doctor has passed. He was a wonderful person and will truly be missed.

He was a great man he was loving caring a good man he will be miss
