Mr. Strada retired from JPRD in 2003 after 13 years. He proudly served his country as a U.S. Marine. He previously was a real estate agent; supervisor for NORD; and was an umpire and basketball referee for many years. He was a tough, but fair coach to generations of kids. He was often called Bulldog and rolled his tongue, a signal he was not happy. He will always be respected, loved and remembered by all who knew him. Aged 84 years; born and raised in the Irish Channel, New Orleans, Louisiana and a current resident of Old Jefferson, Louisiana.
