Douglas S. Strack

My beloved husband, Douglas S. Strack died on 5 June 2021, at his home in Woodbridge, Virginia. After graduating from college, Doug joined the US Army, serving for 32 years. He served in the Artillery Branch with his first assignment in Field Artillery. He was then assigned to duties with Light Missile Artillery for 6 years before his final Army assignment in Nuclear Weapons Research with the Department of Energy. Doug was a graduate of the Nuclear Weapons Officer Course in 1988, the Command and General Staff Officer Course in 1989 and the Army War College in 1996. Some of Lieutenant Colonel Strack’s decorations include the Legion of Merit, four awards of the Defense Meritorious Service Medal, and the Joint Service Commendation Medal. After retiring from the Army, his experience led him to work for the Department of Energy (DoE). Doug and Lilo became members of the Lutheran Church of the Covenant (LCOC) in December 2003. He was very dedicated to the missions of LCOC and served on the church council as Treasurer. He sang tenor in the church choir and the Men’ Chorus and was a regular attendee and contributor at the monthly Men’s Prayer Breakfast. Doug was a quiet, positive, upbeat, and dedicated man who will be missed by his family, church family, and friends, especially Roger and Brian. Doug’s parents, Miller and Jeanetta Strack and brother Mike predeceased him. Douglas Strack is survived by his wife Lieselotte (Lilo), stepson Harry Hoffman, brothers Jeff and Bill, two grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.
