Robert H. “Bob” Strahl, of Montague, passed into the Lord’s arms on Thursday, Nov. 8, 2012. He was born in Muskegon on Jan. 21, 1938 to Kenneth and Dorothy Strahl.

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.
