The Strouse family mourns the death and celebrates the life of Dr. Irving Strouse, who died at Monmouth Medical Center from complications following a stroke on Monday, Jan. 6. He was 73 years old.
Strouse was born on Sept. 24, 1941 in Philadelphia, the first child of Herman and Esther Strouse. From his earliest years, he wanted nothing more than to be a doctor, and he pursued his dream through his education at Northeast High School, Albright College and Drexel University College of Medicine (formerly Hahnemann Medical School). He began his residency in Orthopedic Surgery at Monmouth Medical Center in 1967 and started his practice there in 1972, working tirelessly to ease the pain and suffering of his patients for over 40 years.
He actively supported Monmouth Medical Center’s Orthopedic Surgery residency program, and freely shared his knowledge and skills with orthopedic surgeons in training. In 2004, he received his department’s RHOL Award in recognition of his outstanding achievements and his commitment to both the community and the residents. His dedication to his work and his community fueled him beyond injury and illness; he attended to patients even on his final day.
He was generous with his love and his time, never missing an opportunity to be with his family, yet always finding time for 18 holes at Navesink Country Club with his friends. He raised six children, put them through college, and watched them begin families of their own. He was a loving father and husband, healed the sick, and had a fantastic short game around the greens. Whatever he took from this world, he gave it back and then some. He is survived by his wife, Claire; brother, Arthur; his six children, Jason, David, Gregg, Adrienne, Allison, and Morgan; and his five grandchildren, Sierra, Dylan, Jackson, Ryan and Wyatt.
A celebration of life service will be held at the Woolley-Boglioli Funeral Home, 10 Morrell St., Long Branch, on Saturday, Jan. 10. All are welcome to a viewing from  noon to 3 p.m., followed by a 3 p.m. remembrance service. Strouse was a passionate supporter of Wounded Warrior Project, and in lieu of flowers, the family requests contributions be made in his memory.
