David Joseph "Hoot" Strain passed away peacefully, with loved ones by his side, 
at Lakeview Regional Medical Center in Covington, LA on Wednesday, June 22, 2011 
at 12:05 pm, at the age of 53. 

Born on March 19, 1957, David is lovingly remembered by his beloved wife, 
Barbara. 

Preceded in death by his older brother, Bill and survived by brothers, Al 
(Claire) and Lenny, and many nieces and nephews. 
He also leaves to mourn him sisters-in-law, Becky (Marty) of Canada, Carol of 
Arkansas, Mary Ann of California, and brother-in-law Tim (Carol) of Ohio. 

David was a graduate of Covington High School and went on to become a police 
officer. He was first with the Mandeville Police Department and moved on to the 
Abita Springs Police Department, and at the time of his illness, was with the 
St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office - Canine Division. 

David was a member of The Blue Knights Motorcycle Club and The Knights of 
Columbus at St. Jane Catholic Church in Abita Springs. 

Hoot had true four loves in his life; his Harley, his wife, his Tennessee 
Squires and his loving little dachshund, Princess. He also leaves his others 
doggies; Rufus, Buck and Dukie-do.

We would like to thank all of those who have looked after and supported Hoot 
these past eight months; Northshore Specialty Hospital - especially "Mark"; 
The Lakeview Regional Medical Center ICU department; and David's oldest friend 
Captain David Hanson of the STPSO. And as Hoot whispered to us once - give 
special thanks to "the little buddy". Barb couldn't have made it without you!

Relatives and friends are invited to attend the Funeral Service in the Chapel of 
Bagnell & Son Funeral Home, 75212 Lee Road, Covington, LA 70435 on Saturday, 
June 25, 2011 at 5:00 pm. Visitation from 3:00 pm until service time. 
Interment will follow in Strain Cemetery.
