to know f milies, we can get to know their physical, emotional and spiritual needs and are better able to meet their needs.” Born in Champaign, 111., Dr. Strycker called this home for only a brief period in his life, as thfey only lived there while his father was finishing up his doctorate in chemistry St the University of Illinois. Then, the family moved to Midland, Mich., where Dr. Strycker says that he lived for 18 years or so. The doctor's college experience is made up of three different schools. He spent one and a half years at Hope College, in Holland, Mich., two and a-.half years at Goshen College, and one year of graduate work at Butler University. His desire to be in some service career coupled with his father’s strong influence to study the sciences, made Dr. Strycker’s decision to enter the medical field very easy, as "it tended to meet both needs.” In addition. Dr. Strycker says that his admiration and respect for his own personal physician while growing up in Midland, also played a part in his decision to become a doctor. With this determination, he applied and was accepted at the medical school at Indiana University. After four years at 1.U., Dr. Strycker spent three years performing his residency at Memorial Hospital in South Bend. Upon completion of his residency, Dr. Strycker started his family practice. When asked about starting a new practice, Dr. Strycker says, “it was scarey when we started out, but that settled down pretty quickly and we’ve really enjoyed it over the years. ” At home in his Milford office. Dr. Strycker is very happy with his life in this area. He lives just outside of the Milford city limits with his wife. Helen Ann, and four children, Glenn, Pau], Beth and Stan. Os his practice. Dr. Strycker says that his work is “very enjoyable because of the comradery we have with the doctors and the real wonderful nursing staff.” In addition, he says “it has been very enjoyable working with the patients in Milford.”
