Bob attended a one room country school (Cartwright) across from the family farm. He graduated from Montague High School in 1956. He then went to work at E.I. DuPont in Montague as an electrical and maintenance supervisor until his retirement.

Bob enjoyed farming and sharing his fresh asparagus and rhubarb with family and friends. He also looked forward every year to deer camp. Bob was an avid sports fan - NASCAR, U of M football and the Detroit Tigers - and at one time he played baseball.

He was preceded in death by his son, Rob, and his parents, Kenneth and Dorothy Strahl.

He is survived by his wife, Donna; his daughter, Robin (Lee) DeHoff; grandsons, Daniel and Dustin DeHoff; great-grandson, Hunter DeHoff; sisters, Shirley (Ed) Butzer, Marlene (Robert) Lohman; brother, Kenneth “Lee” (Kathy) Strahl and his beloved pets.
