Rodney Stromenger

April 28th, 1947 - July 20th, 2014
Rodney was like a brother to me. We were best friends thru high school and shared many great times. He departed for the Navy the Saturday after graduation. He and I stayed in touch and even met up a couple of times at Subic Bay in the Phillipines. After I got out, he stayed in leaving the Navy only once for a stint as a Police Officer in San Diego. He went back in and served our country for a total of twenty nine years and retireds as a CHIEF PETTY OFFICER. I am proud to say that we did manage to stay in contact off and on thru the years. Marsha Cowles and I were blessed to all get together in 2012 for a trip around the Southwest. Rodney died suddenly in July of 2014 while he was making arrangements to move to our part of the country and retire. Marsha and I made his final arrangements and he was buried at Miramir Marine Air Station San Diego with full military honors on September 3, 2014. I am sure he would be so proud to be at OUR FIFTIETH and he will be inspirit. I know that there are many of our classmates that will be missing him and I do. God Bless all who read this and understand!
