I will always remember Mr. Stroth as owner and "handyman" of Pizza Palazzo (Best pizza & meeting place in Oak Park in the 90´s!) wearing his signature overalls amply supplied with tools. His jovial good nature and conversation brought a smiles to everyone. My sincere condolences to all the Stroth family from the Politi family.
