Junior was known for his pool playing prowness, sharp shooting ability, and his

He loved being at home and if you wanted to find him, he'd be on his back porch
with his Daisy BB gun and a fly swatter nearby.

Air Force Base in 1983. Born Saint Patrick's Day, 1925 to Ben and Annie

two sons; Phil C. Strategier and his wife, Gay of Norman; Greg Strategier and
his wife, Jamie of New Orleans, LA; one daughter, Pam Strategier Panter of
Collierville, TN; eight grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren.
