After retiring from the Air Force, he worked at and retired from the Department of Labor.

Bob loved to travel with his wife and camping friends, where he spent much time on the road visiting 43 of the 50 states. His favorite way of talking to people about his travels was to say “I retired to see as much of the United States as possible.

He served as Elder Emeritus at First Presbyterian Church. He was a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars and American Legion where he served as Adjutant for almost 20 years and Commander for 6 Years.

He is survived by his wife of 63 years, Gerda, his son Charles Strickland and his wife Karen, his daughter Nancy Kennedy and her husband Randall and his daughter-in-law, Lee Strickland; his grandchildren Robin Kennedy, Melanie Kennedy, Brittney Dixon and husband, Peyton, Corey Strickland, Sydney Strickland, and Charlie Strickland as well as numerous great- grandchildren.  He was preceded in death by his parents, Millie and Joe Strickland, brother Randall, sister Patricia, and son, John Strickland.
