Diane and family,
I know how amazing Joe was because I knew Michele, Dan, and Kim. I was fortunate to teach with them, all and ultimately become their friends. He shoveled snow at my house, and did lawnwork too..all the while he have advice after my father was gone. Advice like a father would give. It meant so much. Now he leaves a legacy. Beginning with his three children and extending to his granchildren.
He lives on through not only Diane but them as well.

Positive thoughts to the family who has lost a FINE husband, father and grandfather.
I did not have the opportunity to have many interactions with Joe; however, when I did, I found a man who was well grounded, courteous, friendly and easy to be around.
Prayers and blessings to the Strobeck family. THANKS FOR SHARING JOE WITH THE REST OF US.

Dear Strobeck family,
Your husband, dad and grandfather was one of the sweetest people I know. We put the trust of our cars in Joes hands and always knew he was a fair man when fixing our cars. We loved joking with him and he always had a come back line. We are so sorry to hear of Joes passing but we know he is in heaven fixing everyone's cars or at least talking about it. Our thoughts and prayers are with Joes family. Rest In Peace sweet Joe.
The Cash Family.
