William J. Strausbaugh
William J. Strausbaugh, 89, of Hanover, beloved husband of Joyce Harner Strausbaugh, entered into God’s eternal care on Sunday, October 4, 2015 at The Village at Utz Terrace surrounded by his loving family.
Born on Saturday, May 29, 1926 in Hanover, he was the son of the late Herbert B. and Rebecca Emma Stauffer Strausbaugh and grandson of the late Rev. Jacob and Anna Forry Stauffer. He was a 1944 graduate of Eichelberger High School and was a US Army veteran of World War II.
Mr. Strausbaugh was the former owner and operator of Harner’s Garage and was later the service manager for Kuhn Motors until his retirement in 1991. Following his retirement, he was a courier for the former Bank of Hanover. He was an active member of St. Matthew Lutheran Church where he served on various committees and was also a member of the Harold H. Bair American Legion Post #14 and the Hanover Republican Club, and a former member of the Hanover Elks BPOE #763. In his spare time, he was a former volunteer with the American Cancer Society and enjoyed gardening and working in his yard. A loving husband, devoted father and proud grandfather and great-grandfather, he was a man of great faith and integrity that will be sorely missed by all who knew him.
Surviving, in addition to his wife with whom he recently celebrated 66 years of marriage, are two daughters, Jane E. Dull and her husband, Jeffrey, of Hanover, and Barbara Mentzer and her husband, Dennis, of Landisville; four grandchildren, Brant L. Berwager and his wife, Teresa, of Hanover, Brooks L.
