Our deepest sympathy go out to the Strachan family. Bob and Nelda have the biggest hearts of any people we have ever met. I am so grateful to have had so many cherished memories with them. Bob was a great man and will be missed greatly.
My heart-felt sorrow for as far as I am concerned to the greatest man, a gift to all children, and of course to adults from the young to the old will be felt forever.He touched all of our family for many years. He brought joy to The Cowger family for many years. My mother was especially fond of him and Mrs. Strachan for many years. He truly was Santa Claus. It didn't matter what time of the year it was, whether he was getting a bite to eat in July, he always had time for the children.God Bless the Family and know he has a special place in heaven as well as our hearts.
