To the Stroupe family, I am sorry to hear of your lose, my condolences to you. I knew Dwight at NASA and playing softball in Fox Hill fast pitch. I also got the opportunity to play some golf with Dwight. Such a great person and great to be around in conversation/friendship. May the good Lord watch over you during this time and memories of Dwight be with you always, God Bless.
