Roger W. Strickland

I think it is wonderful that this guest book will remain open permanently for others such as friends, family and many others to read all the wonderful comments written for Roger. Someone was very thoughtful and loving to make this decision. I know Roger and definitely all members of his family will always be in my treasured thoughts the rest of my life. I am certain there are many that will always remember the good times of their shared lives with Roger even way back into their school...

Roger and I went through several schools together,(kinda). We both attended St. Joseph's for a number of years and then we both headed to Bishop Kenny. Theresa and I graduated together and as life would have it I never saw Roger again and Thereas only at a few reunions. A great family and a lot of great memories. My brother Andy, use to play basketball with Roger at Kenny in 54 & 55. A great person and I know he's the captain of the team where he is. It's a pleasure to have known him . God's...

Time flies and we lose contact with friends. I met Roger and family back in the mid sixties. Spent many years watching his children grow up, visiting with Harriet, Roger and children. Enjoyed time with all of them at their summer cottage in Fl. many, many years. It seems just like yesterday visiting in Jacksonville too. Time flies, gets away from us all. I have beautiful memories of the entire family. Would not trade those memories for anything. I am certain Mike, Doug and Becky that...

DIDN'T KNOW ROGER, I KNEW HARRIETT FROM SCHOOL YEARS AND SHE LIVED IN THE SAME NEIGHBORHOOD AS I..I HAVE ONE MEMORY OF ROGER..SINKING A GAME WINNING FREE THROW IN THE JU GYM IN THE 'LATE 50'S..I BELIEVE THE SHOT WON A CHAMPIONSHIP, GATEWAY, CITY, NOT SURE..A GOOD GUY......

So sorry for your loss. I played baseball
with Roger while at JU.Being from Rochester,NY he always made feel welcome so far from home.Always had that big smile and he would laugh when I made fun of his southern draw.I left in 1962 and did talk with him some years latter.Once again so sorry.

Ed and Family
I am sorry for your loss

As a friend of Ed Strickland for over 20 years, we know the unique bond he had with his brother, Roger. We send our deepest sympathies to Ed and family as well as the rest of the Strickland clan. Roger was a special man and leaves behind wonderful memories for all who knew him.

Sincerely,

My heartfelt sympathy to Mike, Doug and Becky and Jeri. Your dad was one cool "DUKE". I have many great memories of our good times together. Moreover, he was a kind and understanding friend to me in a time of need. One of a kind. Ray Fitzgerald, Niantic,CT
