Robert L. Strickland, of Cornwall, NY entered into eternal rest on January 15,
2018 at The Kaplan Family Hospice Residence, Newburgh, NY after a brief illness.
He was 73 years old. The son of the late William Strickland and Vera Wilson,
Robert was born on July 23, 1944 in Newburgh, NY. His mother remarried and
Robert was raised by his stepfather Thomas Wilson. Bob was a retired Truck
Driver with Teamsters Local 445. Bob honorably and proudly served his country as
a Sergeant in the U.S. Marine Corp during the Vietnam Era. He was a parishioner
of St. Thomas of Canterbury St. Joseph church. Bob was ceaseless in his service
to the elderly which included his weekly catering to people of need through
"Meals on Wheels." Bob could be found on any day of the week driving someone in
need to the doctors, hospital, or a child to school. He was a dedicated husband,
father and grandfather who enjoyed countless "adventures" with his children and
grandchildren who he loved selflessly. Bob loved to travel and cruise the seas
and recently visited the Panama Canal, Italy, and Hawaii. He looked forward
every year to trips to South Carolina and Florida. Bob served his country,
community and family without reservation or complaint. His wife, Carol, of 51
years was his high school sweetheart and love of his life. He will be missed
greatly. The family would like to thank Dr. Diamond and his wonderful office
staff who lived this journey with Bob and Carol and to acknowledge the dedicated
nursing staff of 2 & 4 North of St. Luke’s Cornwall Hospital who treated the
