Tom Strouf

I was just thinking about Tom the other day, playing the piano upside down and backwards... and was generous enough to allow us to use his piano for the Round Roof Anniversary:) Tom was a blessing to me and my family. Love that guy:) sending a current picture of the family.:)

Tom and Vera were a great addition to the Blackman Township community when they arrived from Wisconsin in 2010. What a character Tom was! And always ready to help...be it sharing of his woodwork skills, volunteering, or playing piano to cheer others. Tom really "rocked an audience" when he shared the story of how his mother told him "to not stop practicing piano until you can play that song upside down,,,backwards and forwards".....and then Tom would proceed to demonstrate how at 79 he...

Tom was a neighbor and friend.I will always remember him as he played our piano upside down and backwards. My sincerest condolences to Vera and family,

My sincere condolences to the family of Mr. Strouf. Mr. Strouf(and Mrs. Strouf) was like a parent to me as I moved to peshtigo as a young teacher and coach. I occupied the one room upper apartment above their house, and was so thankful for being able to stay their until i met my wife. Mr. Strouf helped me in any way he could to make me feel welcome in my first adventure out of college and i am proud to say one of the main reasons i am in my 23rd year of teaching in the Peshtigo school...

Thoughts and prayers to the Strouf family. He left a positive impression on all that had the privilege to meet him. I remember the jokes and his amazing ability to play the piano upside down. An absolutely beautiful person.
