Mr. Strughold was an amazing principal during my time in school. I had never known so much care and compassion at that time. He is the reason I became an educator. May his legacy live on. He will be greatly missed. Nikki N. Gilbert, Arizona

Jim and I and our families were friends for probably close to 50 years. We lived fairly close to the Strugholds and Jim and I worked in the city school system. Long walks during the evening were a time we talked about everything: work, family, trucks, pets, you name it, we talked about it. I was Humpty, Jim was Dumpty and we grew to love each other as brothers. I still have Jim on my cell phone. I will miss Jim until we meet again. Lord, thank you for a friend like Jim Strughold.

My sincere condolences to your family. I worked with Mr. Strughold as a kindergarten teacher at Mark Twain School where he lead us with kindness and dedication, he was one of the best principals I worked with in my 24 years as a teacher.
