George Strauss, age 97, passed away peacefully on Nov. 28 from non-COVID-19 causes at home in Berkeley. Raised on Staten Island, George was deeply affected by the hardships of the Great Depression and the plight of the working man, a lifelong concern that shaped his professional choices and his outstanding career at the University of California at Berkeley.
