I have been out of town and didn't know Arnold had passed away. He and Frank had become such good friends as well as cousins, and they were the same age. I remember stories about the two of them as they grew, went to the army, came home and remained dear to each other until Frank died four and a half hears ago. My condolences to the family and my love to you all. xo

I just did a search for my High School Seminary Teacher and found his obituary. He was a marvelous teacher and influenced many young people. I often recall his thought provoking and very fun lessons. He related to his students and taught the Gospel with a great sense of humor. I looked forward to coming to Seminary every day to see what we were to experience. He gave me the opportunity to participate in the class opening exercises - it was great preparation of what was to come in my life. He chose me to serve on committees and co-chair a Seminary Open House in 1967 that was one of the best experiences of my life. Brother Stringham and his wife often chaperoned the High School dances - they enjoyed themselves more than anyone - they were fabulous dancers! I will appreciate for all my life that I had Arnold Stringham as my much loved teacher!

Arnold know I love you with my heart.

Arnold will always have a place in my heart. He was my instructor for broker school back in 1999, I still quote him to this day.

I will never forget Arnold. He was my teaching friend in real estate. His humor and cheerful answers to all my questions, regardless of how many times I asked them, helped me through the agent and then brokers classes. I'm glad I was able to take his wonderful classes in person and that he allowed me to take his HP calculator class over and over!

My thoughts and prayers to the family of brother Arnold Stringham, in his passing.
I was a very lucky student of Brother
Stringham, at Ben Lomond High School.
He was a great teacher and mentor of the
Gospel to many students through out his career
in the Church Education System. Many thanks Brother Stringham. I will always remember the
great lessons you taught, and give thanks for your life and devotion to your lucky students at BLHS.

So proud to be an instructor at Stringham Schools. Thank you Marti and Arnold for your confidence in me 10 years ago. Sitting in his classes was a joy and his wit always made me laugh. I was always amazed at his ability to remember the name of every student. Neal Jackman.

My husband Frank F Stringham and Arnold were cousins, but didn't become good friends until they served in the Korean War together. I served in the temple with Ellen for several years and we would say to each other, "Good morning, Sister Stringham" - even after they were divorced. Frank died two years ago, so they are having a little reunion of their own as well. Aren't we grateful for the Gospel?? God bless you all.

Our deepest thoughts, prayers and condolences go out to your family at this time of bereavement. I know that many a young person's testimony of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ was founded on the lessons, talks and fireside speeches Brother Stringham gave back in the 1970's. May you find peace and comfort through the Holy Spirit of our Heavenly Father.

Bro. Stringham was my Book of Mormon Seminary teacher. This was an "after school" class because B. of M. wasn't in the curriculum yet! Truly! (over 50 years ago). Great teacher!!

In 1968 Brother Stringham spoke at my missionary farewell. He was a good friend and a great teacher. I'm sure heaven has greeted him with open arms.
