Our industry is mourning the loss of a dear friend and colleague.
Roger Strachota, 57, passed away March 23 after a long illness. He was the sales director for BMX Medical.
A resident of Edina, Minn., Roger was a graduate of the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee. He overcame an early diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis to forge a successful career in medical technology.
"I'm going to miss his positive attitude and his warm smile," said BMX's John Bailey.
Roger's lifelong wish was to find a cure for rheumatoid arthritis and those who want to honor his memory may contribute to the Arthritis Foundation, Minnesota Chapter.
Visit Roger's perpetual guestbook at the
Star Tribune.
