Douglas V. Strong Obituary

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the death of Douglas V. Strong (Candor, New York), who passed away on April 6, 2018, at the age of 63, leaving to mourn family and friends. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.

He was loved and cherished by many people including: his parents, Sam Strong and Pieny Strong; his siblings, Donald Strong, Bruce Strong (Hoot), Valerie Strong Houck, Jean Ahart (Alan) and Nancy Ward; his siblings-in-law, Bob Houck, Diane Strong and Marie Strong; and his nephew David Ahart (Lynette). He was also cherished by nieces, nephews, grand-nieces, a grand-nephew, cousins, and a lifetime of accumulated friends.

He never missed an opportunity to share his famous Doug smile and a hug with anyone he encountered, and the concept of a stranger was completely foreign to him, even through the past few years of living with Alzheimer's. "Dey all my frens!" This also included all the medical personnel that he charmed during his recent sudden illness.
