Bob was preceded in death by his father Leroy F. Strohman and his mother Beatrice I. Strohman.
He attended the University of Louisville, earning B.A. and M.A. degrees. For twenty years he taught in Bullitt County, first at the old Shepherdsville High and later at Bullitt East High in Mt. Washington.
He served twenty years in the U.S. Coast Guard Reserve, retiring at the rank of Lieutenant Commander.
His retirement hobby was gardening, specializing in iris; he was a member of the American Iris Society and the Louisville Area Iris Society.
He was a member of Christ Lutheran Church.
His family, friends, and colleagues cherished him dearly, and a Celebration of Life will be arranged at a later date in the fall.

Bob my friend, it was an honor to know you. Your knowledge of iris was extraordinary. You were and probably be the only emeritus judge I have ever known. You eagerly shared your knowledge of Iris with anyone with a mustard seed of interest. Your accomplishments in the world in general are noteworthy. Teacher/Scholar/ Iris Judge/ Military service/ Author and friend. I am thankful that your were able to autograph your book "Iris Red , Iris Dead for me and that we had our field trip and lunch at a nursery just before you left us. I will always cherish that memory. Prayers for your family. May you rest in peace and with no more pain.
