Dear Mrs. Strohman and Family,
My one and only encounter with Rollin was a conversation I had with him just a few months ago. I had learned of his work and passion for agriculture from a mutual friend. Our conversation was centered on his involvement with the development of GPS units. This was the purpose of my call to Rollin as I was looking for a unit to display in a museum here in Eastern Iowa – Heartland Acres Agribition Center. I believe Rollin was in the area for a conference...

Dear Mrs. Strohman,

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

We are fortunate when we meet someone who has a positive impact on our lives. Rollin Strohman was one of those people whom I am grateful to have known. Dr Strohman was the epitome of a gentleman.

My thoughts are with you Clare, Deena, and Trevor, as you face this very difficult time. Your family has a prominent place in my many memories of MBHS.

Clare, I am holding you and your family in my thoughts and prayers as you go through this difficult time.

What a wonderfull person, and such an asset to Cal Poly. I have worked with him through so many computer projects over the years (around 33 years), he has always been a delight. I was talking to him just a couple of weeks ago, I can't beleive he is gone. I will miss him. My sincere sympathy to his family.

Clare, what a fabulous man Rollin is. You have been so blessed to have such a loving, caring, and kind husband. Many blessings and much love to you and your family. Joan Powell, San Diego, CA
