Joshua Michael Strate

To The Family of Josh: First of all please accept our deepest sympathy on the loss of Josh. Their are some things in life that you just can't forget because they are forever a memory. Josh brought me one of my greatest memories in my life at a very early age. At the age of 14 Josh and his great little knuckleball pitched us to the State Championship finals in 1997 in Superior Wisconsin. Josh was a player that really loved the game . He inspired me with his play and his desire to be the best. Josh was always a person who respected me and I always respected him. I remember having conversation with him when he was in high school because there was nothing I wanted more than to see him play ball. A true competitor who respected the game. I would have done anything for Josh because he did something for me that I will never forget, he and his team got me to my very first State Tournament as a Baseball Coach in Cross Plains. He always seemed to have his happiest moments when he was playing ball. I will never forget him I only wish I could have spent more time with him. Thank you Josh may God Bless you. Coach Jim Nonn PS: I am not sure if I can make it to the Gathering on Saturday as I am Coaching basketball at a year end tournament., but would love to share all the good times we had.
