In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by his wife, Sharon Strasser, and by two brothers, Stephen Strasser and Paul Strasser, and sister-in-law, Rosalie Strasser. 
Michael was a critical thinker and examined the world around him with a witty sense of humor; both qualities aptly displayed in his original songs.
Music was a passion he shared throughout his life at various family gatherings and with strangers in cafes across the country.
He was friendly and outgoing and left us a rich assortment of love ballads and colorful songs about life.
We highly encourage you to peruse his catalog at Mike Strasser. ( https://soundcloud.com/mike-strasser/tracks)

We know he would love it if you did.
One of our favorites is "Waltzing the Moonlight". 

Michael was a son, husband, father, grandfather, and brother, and will be dearly missed by his family and friends.
