UND has lost a great friend and supporter:

In a statement, the current CEO of the Alumni Association and Foundation, DeAnna Carlson Zink, says Strinden was a mentor. She said Strinden would often say that a goal in life is to “leave the woodpile higher for those that came after us.” She said Strinden did that.

Rest in peace, Earl. You did a lot for UND. Thank you.

Condolences to the Strinden family, especially the freshman grandson on the UND hockey team.

I never knew Earl was a Marine.

I guess that's why he and Tom Clifford got along on most things.

Lived in Litchville, ND for a few years as a very young kid. We moved from Litchville to Linton when i was going into first grade. I spent quite a bit of time in Earl and Janice's and his brother Theron and Mavis's living rooms raiding the hard candy dish as a youngen. We essentially lived between them. Great family who did a lot for North Dakota and UND.

My condolences to the Strinden family. I had a chance to meet him in Winnipeg at an alumni function. His demeanor left me with a great feeling he was a class individual. Rest in peace.

The quintessential EARL at 4:05 from a quaint old NFL films story on the UND-NDSU rivalry.   I miss Rocky - is he still alive?

Mr. Strinden - we would never agree on politics but I always appreciated your dogged determination and dedication to UND.

Thank you for all the hard work - you have earned your rest and the gratitude of all UND fans.
