Carmen Winslett wrote a sympathy message

“Mr. Strickland was a dear and kind friend, and he will be greatly missed. The very first person we met in Eclectic, and he welcomed us with open arms. He let us keep our horses on his property for years after we moved to town. My husband spent hours chatting with him in the fabric store while I shopped. Mr. Strickland was a sincere joy to be around - what you saw was what you got! Rest in peace, our friend.”
