Although I didn’t work with George directly, he always showed interest, always had time for a chat, a laugh, a joke. The bursts of laughter were most of the time from his office. I remember him as a warmhearted person, sad that he passed away too young. I want to express condolences to the Streb family and others that were close to him.

Dad,
I want to thank you for all that you have taught me over the years. You are the best father, coach and Grandpa that anyone could ever have. You will always be with me and Shy and Cooper. You will be talked about everyday to Coop so he knows what a wonderful father you are. We are so blessed that you had the chance to spend time with us and be there when Cooper was born. You will be with us everyday and forever. We love you
Dad,
You were my best friend, I can’t even describe how grateful I am to have had a father like you, we we’re 2 peas in a pod, You will live through me for the rest of my life and you will be with me in my heart every minute of every day. I will make sure that your stories are told and that laughs follow forever, and that anyone who didn’t know you will feel like they did. You were my everything, and I will strive to make you proud with everything I do. May you RIP and visit me often. Your the BEST man on the planet. Thank you for everything!!!!

Dear Mr & Mrs Streb, Dave, Ricky, Kathy, Ann and your whole family, We heard of George’s passing yesterday and want to express our sincere condolenses to all of you. George will be remembered by us as a person who took in all of what life had to offer. He was always a great friend to our whole family. Some great childhood memories. God bless you all during this time of grief, and in all the days ahead. You’re in our thoughts and prayers.
Dear Streb family, I was very sad and sorry to hear of George’s passing, though it has been many years since I had seen George, I have many very happy and fond memories from our school days in grade school thru high school. George was a great friend and loved to laugh and have a great time. Though I could not be with you at this time because of the miles that separate us, you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Geoge was a rare individual who lived life to the fullest. He was always able to bring a smile to your face even on the roughest of days and for that he will always be missed.
Our condolences to the Streb family during this difficult time

George had a way of throwing his head back when he laughed in a way only he could laugh. (we called it flip-top laugh)and smiling in the morning while making us 3 or 4 different kinds of sausage we would make jokes about if that was enough kinds,to which he would crack up, complete with his own flip top laugh that would make us laugh even more.Im going to miss him,we’re going to miss him,and his laugh.I send my thanks and my love to his family.
George was a great friend and fishing buddy. He will be missed. I have many fond memories of George over the years. He was truly on in a million.

George, Very few people in this world can light a room up as you always did. You will be truly missed, your positive attitude to everything you did is an example to us all. My thoughts are with your family and friends at this time. Visiting Canada will nerver be the same without you.

How about when we lived close bye at Gas Light Square Apts. , you and Karen, we laughed. And when I umpired your son playing ball, you gave it to me good. Sleep tight hombre thanks for everything.

Hey George, I know you are in a wonderful special place and are still around your loved ones here. I know you will continue to watch over our little Cooper as he grows and he will make you proud. We will keep your memory alive to him so that he knows what a wonderful grandpa you were and how much you loved him. Watch over us all. Send some comfort to Tony and Shy and Kelly, okay? You will be sorely missed, loved one.

Sorry George andRosemaris
To my family, you are in my thoughts and prayers. George was such a robust soul, I’m so glad he came to visit Rick and I this summer. I’m so sorry I can’t be there in this sorrowful time. Rick I will be waiting for you with comforting arms.
Tony & Kelly: I used to work with your Dad and the one thing I remember most is that he could make me laugh. He had a self-deprecating sense of humor. He was completely unpretentious and humble. He’d be the first to admit that he wasn’t perfect. He was totally lovable. He sure loved you guys and was proud of his kids. My sincere condolences to you and your family – I’ll be praying for you all. I’ll always remember George when I go to 7:45 AM mass at St. Lawrence (that was his favorite mass). Sincerely,
Frankie Berntson
