I was saddened to read of Dr. Strickland's passing, more so since I was just recently thinking about him and the other people I got to know and see daily when I worked for another doctor in the same building on Woodville Road way back in 1977. I have not forgotten about him after all these years, and feel blessed to have known this remarkable man. May God bless and be with you as you travel the journey of grief towards peace and heart-felt memories.
