Leroy

Strohbusch

LeRoy Strohbusch, 87, was born in Watertown, WI on January 11, 1927 to Lester and Erna (Schroeder) Strohbusch.

He was a U.S. Navy World War II Veteran and retired from AT&T in 1986 after 42 years of service.

On January 26, 2014 LeRoy returned home to be with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

LeRoy was a loving husband, father, and grandfather. He was a strong man of God who sacrificially loved and served his family and his Lord. He lived his life for others, and leaves behind a legacy of love that will last for generations to come. He learned much from His father in Heaven who says it is better to give than receive. "For God loves a cheerful giver... They share freely and give to the poor. Their good deeds will be remembered forever" (2 Corinthians 9:8-9).

LeRoy was preceded in death by his loving wife of 66 years, Mary Ann Strohbusch. He is survived by his six children: LeRoy (Kathy), Bonita (Strohbusch) Ashbaugh, David (Susan), Robert (Sherry), Mark (Linda) and Joseph (Marijane); 16 Grandchildren, 16 Great Grandchildren, and many dear friends.
