Joe Strange Obituary
Joe L. Strange left us the morning of July 9, 2015 in San Antonio, Texas. Joe was born in San Antonio, February 5, 1939. He remained in the San Antonio area throughout his life where he lived with his life partner, Norman Gruber for fifty three years. Joe and Norman were not only life partners, they were also business partners. Together they owned the North East Pet Salon since 1966. Joe's unwavering love for animals could be seen in so many facets of his life. From taking in injured dogs that needed lifelong care to the many organizations he belong to, Joe was known for his dedication to help. Joe was a founding member and past President of the Poodle Club of San Antonio, active member of the Bexar County Kennel Club, Alamo Area Toy Dog Club, and an Honorary member of the Mission City Stewards Club. His compassion was felt by so many people. Joe was preceded in death by his son, Eric Strange. He is survived by his life partner Norman Gruber, sister Vida McCoy, brother Murray, son Monty, daughter Allison, three grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.
Joe leaves behind his life partner, family, and friends who are filled with the wonderful memories of his smile, laughter, and love. We will miss him always.
