Deepest sympathy and prayers for the family and friends of Mr. Strickler. May he rest in peace. (My Dad knew Mr. Strickler in years past, and was also very close friends with Harry & Bessie Strickler many years ago, who were related to him.)

I worked with Strik back in the old ARC days, he was one of the hardest working men I ever worked with. Sorry to hear of his passing.
