Stranahan, Sr., his wife Paige, and their children, including professional golfer Frank Stranahan.

Went to a wedding here and it was a great day. The side courtyard where the ceremony was held was in full bloom. It even had a robin feeding her babies in a nearby tree... The house is incredible with so many interesting rooms. There's even a little shooting range in the basement. I'm so glad our friends chose this location. It was a perfect day 😊
