    I knew both Drs. Duberstein and Strickland who taught at DMU-COMS. They were both terrific. I had last spoken with Dr. Strickland about 1 1/2 years ago who gave me million dollar advice in my current practice. He was so nice to me, and we spoke at length how much I appreciated him and also learned from him in class. I even told my wife about our conversation and what a wonderful and caring person he was. I am still in shock to have lost 2 good men who cared about their students. What a loss! I am so sorry and my heart goes out to their families. Class of 1984.

    I too am saddened over the loss of both Drs Duberstein and Strickland. Dr Duberstein was a great instructor and Fred was a classmate. I send my sincere condolances to their families. They will never be forgotten.
