I met Bob when working at APA in the 1970s and worked with him in the early 1980s when working in Seattle. Such a nice guy! And a true professional. It turned out that at least some of you Strode children were delivered by the same doctor who delivered my sister and me! May you all have many other happy memories to share...

I was sad to hear of Bobs passing. I enjoyed working with Bob during my years at APA. So many fun photo projects with Family Circle, Popular Science, Mechanix Illustrated, and many more magazines

He was a superb photographer and person and will be greatly missed
