Jesse Lee Strickland meticulously prepared meals, outfits, cars, NASA facilities and nonprofit services.
The pioneering architect and presidential honoree died Feb. 18 at home in Shelbyville, Ind. He was 87.
"He had talent that was unbelievable," said Julian Earls, who led what's now NASA Glenn Research Center in Brook Park. "He developed most of the campus and Plum Brook. He reached out to all new African-American employees as a mentor."
Rev. Kenneth Chalker of University Circle United Methodist Church, heading to Indiana to conduct Strickland's funeral on Thursday, Feb. 24, called him "a marvelous, cosmopolitan gentleman. He had a grace and humanity about him that drew people from all walks of life."
