Albert Strouss Obituary

Dr. Strouss was a World War II veteran, who enlisted in the Cavalry, and later became a pilot. He was a practicing small animal and equine vet in the Columbus and New Albany area for 34 years. His greatest love was caring for animals. Never in his career did he turn away an animal in need, no matter the circumstances.

Bud and Doc as we called him help mentor
a family down the road. Helping with our animals,being a role model and father
authority to 3 boys plus helping a mother and daughter through tuff times and also good times. He was so much part of our lives, even after we grew up. We all enjoyed visiting the farm
as guests or as workers. We all have fond memories and loved you Doc.

I met Doc two years after his initial stroke--he was in a wheelchair at the time. Through his strength of will, the man progressed to walking independently with a cane in addition to maneuvering the John Deere "gator" around his farm (to places where I could not have found my way back home on my own). It is my huge regret that I never knew Doc before his ability to speak was limited--he may not have always given us an answer, but we always knew he was present.

I know there was a huge crowd of wagging tails to greet him when he crossed "the rainbow bridge."

20 years ago I met Dr Strouss thru my wife. We were looking for a new kitten and a neighbor of his had a cat with a litter and they were seeking good homes for them. "Bud" had Sylvia take us over to pick out a kitten and after we got back to his farm he checked her out. She was full of fleas and he gave her a quick bath, her shots and said she was healthy so home we went. She is still in our household and rules the roost to this day. We have had numerous others as her companions but 'MISS KITTY' as we came to call her is still vibrant and content. Dr Strouss sure knew his animals..............he will be sadly missed by all. Our deepest sympathies to Sylvia and all his children and grandchildren. HOWARD & KAREN ROGERS-MILLER of New Albany, Ohio.

I am so saddened to hear of the death of Doc Strouss. He was our vet for many years when we lived in the New Albany/Johnstown area. He had the biggest heart for both animals and people and a great sense of humor also. When my daughter wanted a job at the Columbus Zoo at the age of 16, he asked if he could write a cover letter to her resume. She has now been there for 20 years. His death is a great loss.

To the family and friends,
Dr. Strouss was a great vet, you are right he never turned anyone away, in the blizzard of 1978 he made it to help horses on our street, he had to leave his car at the end of the street and walk 1/5th of a mile to get to them. he also was our dogs vet.

God bless,

Connick family
