Charles Strickland Obituary

Charles G. Strickland, a lifelong resident of Jacksonville, died on December 21, 2007. The son of Sarah Walker Strickland and Charles Strickland, he was born on September 13, 1929. He served in the United States Army during the Korean War. An inveterate individualist, Charlie was often recognized on his long daily walks through local neighborhoods. Many who knew him saw him as part of an era of Jacksonville that has nearly disappeared. Survivors include his nieces and nephew, Sarah, Noel and Thomas Boardman, great-nieces Jennifer and Cynthia Boardman, and many cousins. A funeral service and interment will be held at Evergreen Cemetery, Gate 5 on Baker Drive, at 11:00 a.m., on Saturday, January 19th. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorials be sent to the Cathedral Foundation, 4250 Lakeside Dr. #300, Jacksonville, 32210. The family thanks the staff of Cathedral Towers, at the Cathedral Gerontology Center, and at the George & Margaret Morris Center for Caring for their wonderful kindness, care, and support.

I was deeply saddened to read of Charlie's death. We were friends from our earliest years. I seem to remember we lived on Willow Branch Terrace when we were born. Our parents were good friends. We remained friends through all these years. We saw each other from time to time when he moved to Cathedral Towers, and I worked as administrator at St. John's Cathedral. When we got together, we reminisced about old times and old friends. We saw each other much less when I retired and moved to the beach.
I hope he did not suffer and his death was peaceful. I will miss him. I believe he is now at peace.
My deepest sympathy to the members of his family.
I had a conflict otherwise I would have been at his funeral.
