I remember Tommy and Bobbie well. They were friends in high school. I also know how active they were in
Boy Scouts. Memories are precious to us. You wonder where the years went so fast. You both were great parents. Precious memories!

Mr. Stringer was my dad's best friend. To the casual observer, Tommy Stringer and Jack Rooks were like brothers. Mr. Stringer was a great encouragement to me after my dad passed and we shared tears and laughter about their relationship. Of course they shared hundreds of stories about their children, most of them cheerful, some sad, but they were always there for each other through thick and thin. I will miss Mr. Stringer's wit and wisdom but I will see him again. Heaven rejoices today!

Gone but Never Forgotten. Mr. Tommy was a huge part of my life and my family. He was one of my Dad's best friends and confidant. Hundreds of young men in Boy Scouts are better off today because he was involved.
The sadness of his passing is tempered by all the great times we had with him and the fact that he now resides in the Kingdom of Heaven!

We have wonderful memories of time spent with the Stringers. He was one of a kind. Love to Bobbie and the Stiringer family from the Rooks family. Elizabeth Rooks-Barber
