Longtime Sussex resident and mechanic, Cornelius C. “Slim” Strobel, died at age 79. Strobel and Martin Johnson bought a mechanic shop, Sussex Auto, on Main Street in 1963 which is still run by Strobel’s son, Nick. Strobel also sponsored softball teams that played at Village Park. He was remembered as a strong supporter of his team and would often have pitchers of beer ready for an after-game party.
