Frank Karl Strickon

Beryl,
We are in Arizona and were not able to attend the services at Fort Snelling. Our prayers are with you during your time of grief.
Frank will be sorely missed by more people than you will ever know. He brought joy to so many people just by always smiling and always being up beat. He got a lot from Toastmasters but he contributed so much more than he received. You were always so supportive of his work. You were a team in the best sense of the word.
We will think of Frank often with fondness. I don't think he had a mean bone in his body. To think of Frank is to think of sunshine.
Shalom,
Bob & Rita Pierce,
Grateful Toastmasters

Dear Beryl,
We are saddened to hear of Frank's passing. We will always remember his happy spirit and how he made those around him laugh! We often tell others about the two of you, and about how we first met at the restaurant at the top of the hotel in Duluth. May you always feel his love and his presence with you, even though he has departed this place. Our sympathies to you and your loved ones. Brian Rohrenbach and Linda Larson

Beryl,
Bruce and I are saddened by Frank's passing. We will always remember his wit and funny stories. He always had that neverending grin. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Beryl,
How often my late parents mentioned you, as they talked about their childhood and school years back in Brainerd. Knute and Winnie (Loom) Preston, gone for many years now, were my parents. They moved our family from Brainerd back in the 50's to Grand Rapids, where I have made my home with husband and children for all these years. Knute and Winnie moved to Bloomington with my younger brother and remained there until their deaths - Dad in 1981 and Mom in 1993. They are both in Ft. Snelling cemetery as well. I have kept in contact with Beth (Pulkrabek) Gibbons in CA for many years. I lost my older brother Ty to Alzheimers in 2001. Younger brother Brad and family are in Apple Valley.
Just wanted you to know thoughts and prayers are with you. How lucky you are, though, to have had your husband in your life for so many, many years! Take care!

Beryl,
I've always valued Frank's and your friendship through Zuhrah Boosters. Frank had a special wit and would always help out when we needed a speaker.
I'll miss him.

Beryl,
Our thoughts are always with you. Frank and we have shared fun memories together.
Lovingly,
Judi Taube Burnam & Robert Burnam

Beryl,
My sympathy thoughts and prayers are with you.
I have wonderful memories of our friendship.
May Frank now rest in peace.
