Traveling was one of his passions, spending his retirement years traveling to Europe and all the national parks west of the Mississippi River with his wife in their RV.

Tray,
Lots of fun times together with the Strykers! Your Dad was always there to help. When times were the toughest in Switzerland, Burt stepped up. We will always remember that. Our prayers are with your entire Family.
