“Strazz ” was the best! I worked for him as a dental assistant for many years. Like a member of my family
As Dr. Strazzeri’s dental hygienist in the late 70’s-early 80’s, I had the best gig in town! He was a great dentist and the best boss ever! Hugs to Jane and the Family!
Sorry to hear of your loss!
A REAL loss to the Rochester community, he was not only my dental savior, but a real gentleman which I ALWAYS considered a personal friend. Our loss is now God’s gain!!
To Fran and your entire family my sincere condolences on the passing of the Doc. He was a delightful and sincere man and I enjoyed getting to
him and golfing with him..He lived a full life and always had a smile for all. RIP Doc.

I am saddened that this world has lost another beautiful soul and he was the best dentist and friend. He wouldn’t let me work for him because he felt it was not the best for my career and opportunities and I remember having to take an aptitude test and then talking at great length with him. I did babysit for awhile and the boys were little ones and I remember them being very active (as boys are). My son’s birthday is June 11th and so now I will always remember Dr. Strazzeri on that date. Love to you all.
Very saddened to hear of Anthony’s passing in today’s paper. I got to know him when we both took the orthodontic program together in Buffalo. Not only did I appreciate his expertise in the profession but also the personal time we spent together. He was funny, entertaining and very genuine. I’m very sorry for your loss.
Strazz taught me everything I know in dentistry! He was my first boss and he was the best! My thoughts and prayers go out to Jane, Francis,Jerry and Chris and your families. Donna Boehm Fink
I was so VERY lucky to meet DR Strazzeri by becoming part of the family by marrying his son Gerry What a bright kind and lovable man! He will of course be greatly missed but he must have brought great joy to many people We are heartbroken that we can not come up for the funeral due to weather However we plan to come up for a celebration of his life i June for his birthday
Heartfelt condolences to Jane and to Tony’s family.

Jane and family, John and I were saddened to hear of Dr. Strazzeri’s passing. He was a wonderful, caring man, as well as the most gifted dentist I’ve known. Few people make an imprint on the lives of others.May you have peace knowing he touched the lives and hearts of many. May God bless you all.

My sincere condolences to the Strazzeri family.
Anthony, we met by chance while I was in my dental residency in Rochester. What I will remember most is your kindness and warmth. You invited me into your home. We met on other occasions that year. Unfortunately, we didn’t meet again until years later when I returned to Rochester to visit you. You and your wife were so gracious and warmhearted. You left a lasting impression. You were a true gentleman. You will be missed by many.
God Bless you and your family.
