Bobby Ray Stricklin Sr., of Florence, Alabama left this earth to join his wife, Betty McLemore Stricklin; great-granddaughters, Adalynne and Stella Roden, in heaven on March 22, 2023. Visitation will be Monday, March 27, 2023 from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM at Williams Funeral home with service to follow. Burial will be at Tri-Cities Memorial Gardens.

To his family he was known as Paw, a loving husband, caring father, the grandfather that could fix anything, and ladder enthusiast. Bobby spent many of his years selling “Nice Used Cars” at Stricklin Motors in Florence, this made him the first call for any of his children or grandchildren when there was any issue with their own vehicles. He was also a long-time member of Faith Church and will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
