I am deeply saddened by the news of your loss. I pray that God will grant you the strength. My most sincere condolences. I’m going to miss Dr.  Lyndel telling me I need a bridge every appointment 🥲❤️🙏🏾

My biggest fear in life has always been going to the dentist until I met Dr. Strippling. He had the most calming mannerisms, and explained everything to me so I would feel at ease. My husband and family have been patients of his for over 25 years. I will miss him greatly.  My sincere condolences to his family and friends.   

Rest in Pease Dr. Strippling. 

Our deepest condolences to Dr. Stripling’s family, friends, and staff. Such a Wonderful person and amazing dentist. Dr. Stripling helped me not be afraid of going to the dentist with his amazing skills. We will sure miss seeing your friendly smile.

Best Regards,

Delia and Curt Kolinek

For as long as I can remember, I’ve introduced (or described) Lyndel to my friends as a “renaissance man” because of his ability to do so many things so well. Dennis was the surgeon; I was the educator; and Lyndel was the “renaissance man.”

In analyzing that moniker, I’ve realized it was based on Lyndel’s broad-based artistry. First, in his dentistry that was as cosmetic as practical—but also in his award-winning photography, acclaimed sculpturing, multiple-genre singing, consummate archery, and captivating story telling. I was mesmerized every time I heard the stories of the squirrel running up his leg while he was turkey hunting or the bear grabbing the scotch as it attacked his and Don’s camp site. And, let’s not forget the mathematical artistry he often applied to card and domino games. Players aware of his prowess would often ask, “What would Uncle Lyndel do?” when perplexed with a “42” hand.

Above all, I’ll remember Lyndel for his generosity—generosity of both his financial and time resources. For years he provided full-service dental work to many family members without accepting a penny, even for lab work. On several occasions, my husband or I would receive a Christmas gift that one of us would have admired while traveling with him earlier that year. . . Lyndel was never too busy to volunteer his time to help Randy with a project or to promote a passion such as the Texas Bighorn Sheep Society “Guzzler Project” in West Texas on which he worked weekends for multiple years. . . Most importantly, Lyndel’s generosity was unconditional. . . I always felt that if I ever needed someone to rescue me, I could call Lyndel, and the only thing he would ask is, “Where are you, Sis?”

Submitted with love and fondest memories,

Lyndel was a special and amazing man !

My business partner , but most of all , a great friend. Lyndel had that uncanny ability to make those around him feel special. He was kind ,considerate ,caring and he brought out the best in all that knew him.

He will be missed immensely by those that were touched by his life!

Over the last few days I have thought about the many things Lyndel meant to me!

His amazing lust for life, his joy in creating beautiful things, his compassion and unwavering commitment to all he knew , and oh yes , his storytelling, which mesmerized all who were listening- He made things come to life with a vivid and extraordinary ability and feeling.

Lyndel Stripling was indeed an amazing man! I count it a blessing to have known him . I know we all grieve in his passing from this life, but he will endure in my heart as he will in yours !

My sincere condolences to Kathy , his brother, sister,

children and grandchildren. Thank you for sharing Lyndel with all of us .

May God wrap his comforting arms around each of you as you live life without his earthly presence . But know that he made an enduring impact on all of us, that we will one day follow him into the joy of eternal life, in the presence of God our father and Jesus our Savior and redeemer! 

I am so sorry to hear of Dr. Stripling's passing.  He took such great care of us at his practice for many many years.  

With love,

Cat and Jon Angeles
