Irving D. Strouse MD

September 24, 1941 - January 6, 2015

DR. IRVING D. STROUSE (1941-2015) 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 January 6, 2015. He was 73 years old. Irving was born on September 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 forty years. He actively supported Monmouth Medical Centerâ€™s Orthopedic Surgery residency program, and freely shared his knowledge and skills with orthopedic surgeons in training. In 2004, he received his departmentâ€™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 eighteen 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, January 10. All are welcome to a viewing from 12â€“3pm, followed by a 3pm remembrance service. Irving was a passionate supporter of Wounded Warrior Project, and in lieu of flowers, the family requests contributions be made in his memory.

I just heard about the passing of Dr. Strouse. I'm so sadden to hear this and I remember him fondly as a very caring kind man. I had a Menisus tear in my knee and it was going to be my first surgery ever. I was very nervous but he put my fears at ease wih calm reassurace and his funny sense of humor. I was very grateful for the successful outcome.. I immediately felt very calm with Dr. Strouse with his quiet calm demenor and straight forward explanaton of what was going on with my knee. I last saw him a the office to check the progress of knee treatments in June 2014 and I will certainly miss seeing him at the ofice and that sense of humor and his calm manner that always translated to me that everything will be ok. My heartfelt condolences to his wife and famly. He was certiany one of the best people I've known.

We were shocked to learn of the passing of Dr.Strouse. Both David and myself feel as if we lost a family member. He was a great doctor and a great man. We will surely miss him.

Dear Claire, Last night, for no apparent reason, I thought of Irv and googled his name in to see if he was still practicing. How shocked I was to see that he had died just a few days ago. He was a fine Doctor and a gentle, compassionate man. I can't tell you how much I enjoyed working with and for him for over 15 years of his early practice years. Richard and I send you and your family our deepest condolences. Warm regards. The Breslows

To the Family of Dr. Strouse, My husband and I were so sorry to hear of Dr. Strouse's passing. He did surgery on both of us. He was such a nice man and a wonderful Dr. We are praying for strength and peace for your family at this difficult time. ~Cornell and Adell Daugherty

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

I am heart broken to hear of the passing of Dr. Strouse. I have been a patient of his for 10 years. He did surgery on my right knee & was going to do surgery on my left knee the end of January. I was just in his office to discuss the surgery with him and the last thing he said to me was I'll see you at the hospital. He was a very carng doctor, a nice person and I trusted him with my care completely. I know I will not find another doctor like Dr. Strouse. My condolences to his family he will be missed by all who were lucky to know him.

DR. Strouse Was A Wonderful Doctor, He Took Very Good Care Of His Patients, I Was One Of Them. A Very Gentle Man..... So Sorry For Loss.. Dorothy Gaiser

Dear Irv: Thank you for sharing your kindness, generosity, and constant smile with me. I will never forget it. Dear loved ones: I'm so sorry for your loss. I wish you strength and love.

Dear Claire and family, I am still stunned over the passing of Dr. Strouse, I can not imagine what you have endured. I am so sorry for your loss. It is a great loss to Monmouth medical Center. I have known Dr. Strouse since I was a nursing student on G2. He was so instrumental in my career. He always was a gentleman and a pleasure to work with. We all would try to be in his OR. I have been at MMC for 38 years, I was a student when you worked on G2, Dr. Strouse taught me so much about orthopedics and how the profession is supposed to be, I have never seen him lose his cool. I had just seen him in the OR, he was taking his arthroscopy boots off, and with his little sly smile, we were teasing each other, how long we would be working. Dr. Strouse will be truly missed by me and all of the nurses.I am so very sorry for your loss. Always remember the good times and all of the laughter to help you get through this. He will always be with you. Sincerely, Nancy Shaub

Ruth and I have know Irv since his early days at Monmouth Medical Center. Irv and I played golf together when he was a member of Hollywood Golf Club, he set my daughters broken leg and tended to mine and Ruth's bad backs for years. He was great person and doctor and will be truly missed.

Dear Claire-what sad news. My deepest sympathies to you and the girls. Irv was such a kind and gentle man and will be missed by everyone. So sorry for your loss--way to soon. Fondly, Donna

We are so saddened by the news of Irv's passing. The Christman family has such wonderful memories of Irv..especially during our Dance Plus days with Mandi and his girls. I remember Mandi injured her foot the day before the big recital and I took her to see Irv. He came back from reading the x-ray with tears in his eyes....it was a stress fracture and he knew all too well how much dance meant to the girls. He hugged her and told her she could still dance with limitations and he would be right there if she needed him. We sat in the front row the next day right beside Irv and Claire. He watched every step she took and whispered in my ear "what a brave girl she is". He was truly a wonderful man, husband and father and brought a sense of love and caring to all who were fortunate enough to know him! Our hearts go out to all the Strousse family and know that all of us send love and prayers to all of you.

Dear Claire & Family, I am so saddened to hear this news about Irv, and send prayers of strength and peace to you all at this most difficult time in your lives. There is comfort in knowing how loved and admired he was, and that his legacy lives on in each of your children and grand children, and knowing his was a life well-lived. May your memories and stories keep him ever present in your hearts. Fondly, Pam McCoy
