LeRoy Strohbusch
1927- 2014
LeRoy Strohbusch, 87, was born in
Watertown on Jan. 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 Jan.
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.
