He is survived by his loving wife, Marlene Resnik Strho; sister Catherine Strho Bertovich; sister-in-law Lorraine Resnik Billie; niece Carolyn Billie Chynoweth (Rick), with whom he resided; as well as many nieces and nephews, whom he loved dearly as his own children.

He was preceded in death by his parents; brother Pete Strho; and sister Anna Strho Suhon.

There will be a memorial service in June in Bethel Cemetery, Avella.
