His wife, Debbie, daughter, Amanda, and son, Adam, and their interests keep him busy for much of his free time, but some is still left for golf, running and watching his beloved Dallas Cowboys and Texas Longhorns. Many people in the Ozarks still refer to Dr. Struble as "the Singing Dentist" for his "side" career as a lead performer in Branson, MO shows (Presley's and the Ozarks Country Jubilee) from 1984-1992.
