In Memoriam
Charles S. Strobel (1923 – 1993)
Rich and Phil’s father, Chuck, served The Strobel Group as Chairman during the formative years. Chuck was a shareholder, co-founder, and former President and Vice-Chairman of Sargento, Inc., a $1.8 billion sales privately-held company headquartered in Plymouth, Wisconsin. Although never active in our day-to-day business, his guidance, support, and encouragement enabled the success our firm enjoys today. Chuck’s counsel and concern are deeply missed. His example of working with common sense and integrity lives on through the continuing efforts of our team.
