                            Amendment No. 2

     This Amendment is filed on behalf of John T. Guerin and amends and
supplements the initial Schedule 13D dated February 13, 1991, as amended by
Amendment No.1 dated July 31, 1991.

Item 4.    PURPOSE OF THE TRANSACTION

     This item is amended to read as follows:

     The Schedule 13D as originally filed, and as amended by Amendment No. 1
thereto (the "AMENDED SCHEDULE 13D"), stated that the purpose of the
transaction was investment and that the filing person intends to review on a
continuing basis its investment in the securities of the Company and the
Company's business affairs, financial condition and state of the building
supply industry in which the Company participates, as well as conditions in
the securities markets and general economic and industry conditions.  The
Amended Schedule 13D also stated that the filing person may in the future
take such action in respect of its investment in the securities of the
Company as it deems appropriate in light of the circumstances existing from
time to time including, without limitation, purchasing additional securities or
disposing of securities now held or hereafter acquired in open market
transactions, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise.

     The Amended Schedule 13D is further amended to reflect that as of November
11, 1996, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "MERGER
AGREEMENT") with Hamilton Acquisition LLC (the "PARENT") and Hamilton NY
Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Parent (the "SUBSIDIARY"),
pursuant to which the Subsidiary would be merged with the Company (the
"MERGER").  The merger consideration to be paid to Company stockholders is
$6.00 per share of Company Common Stock, in cash, for an aggregate fully
diluted purchase price of approximately $32 million.  Additionally, as of
November 11, 1996, the filing person together with certain other stockholders
of the Company, holding an aggregate of approximately 62% of the shares of
Common Stock of the Company, entered into a Proxy Agreement dated as of
November 11, 1996 with the Parent and the Subsidiary (the "PROXY AGREEMENT")
pursuant to which such stockholders agreed, among other things, to appoint the
Parent as such stockholders' irrevocable proxy to vote such stockholders'
shares of Common Stock in favor of the approval and adoption of the Merger
Agreement and approval of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by
the Merger Agreement.

Consummation of the Merger Agreement would necessarily result in the following:

     (a)  the Parent acquiring all of the then outstanding shares of Company
     Common Stock;
     (b)  an extraordinary corporate transaction involving the Company and its
     subsidiaries;
     (d)  the resignation of the present Board of Directors of the Company and
     the addition of Frederick Marinoas Chief Executive officer to Company
     management;
     (e)  a reduction in Company equity capitalization;
     (g)  a restatement of the Company's charter and by-laws;
     (h)  the Company being delisted.

Item 6.CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO
SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

      This item is supplemented as follows:

     As of September 30, 1996, Mr. Guerin together with the Company and certain
other individuals amended the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated
October 1, 1986 (the "AMENDED REORGANIZATION AGREEMENT") to terminate certain
parties thereto who were not stockholders of the Company.  The Company,
Mr. Guerin and the remaining parties to the Amended Reorganization Agreement
(the "NON-TERMINATING PARTIES") also entered into certain waivers of the
Amended Reorganization Agreement to facilitate certain transactions with regard
to the Proxy Agreement.

     Additionally, as of November 11, 1996, Mr. Guerin together with certain
other stockholders of the Company, holding an aggregate of approximately 62% of
the shares of Common Stock of the Company, entered into the Proxy Agreement
pursuant to which Mr. Guerin together with seven (7) others agreed, among other
things, to appoint the Parent as such persons' irrevocable proxy to vote such
stockholders' shares of Common Stock in favor of the approval and adoption of
the Merger Agreement and approval of the Merger and the other transactions
contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

Item 7.MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS

     This item is supplemented as follows:

     B.    Proxy Agreement dated as of November 11, 1996 by and among the
           Reporting Person and other persons [incorporated by reference to
           Exhibit 2.2 to the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
           three months ended September 30, 1996.]

     C.    Agreement Plan of Reorganization Dated October 1, 1986 by and among
	   the Company and the parties named therein [incorporated by reference
	   to the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Commission File
	   No. 33-9348), filed on October 8, 1986.]

     D.	   Second Amendment to Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated as of
           September 30, 1996 by and among the Company and the parties named
           therein.

                         Second Amendment to Agreement
                          and Plan of Reorganization


      This Second Amendment dated as of September 30, 1996 (this "AMENDMENT)",
to the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated as of October 1, 1986, as
amended as of January 25, 1988 (the "REORGANIZATION AGREEMENT") by and among
the persons set forth as signatories of this Amendment and The Strober
Organization, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "COMPANY").

      WHEREAS, the persons listed on SCHEDULE A hereto are parties to the
Reorganization Agreement but are not currently stockholders of the Company and
desire to terminate their participation as a party to the Reorganization
Agreement (the "TERMINATING PARTIES"); and

      WHEREAS, each of the parties hereto has determined that it is in the best
interest of such party that this Second Amendment be entered into;

      NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual
covenants of the parties hereto, the parties agree as follows:

      1.   REPRESENTATION AND WARRANTY.  Each of the Terminating Parties
represents and warrants to each other party that as of the date hereof such
Terminating Party does not own any Company Common Stock or have the right to
acquire any Company Common Stock.

      2.   TERMINATION.  Each of the parties hereto agrees that as of the date
hereof, the Terminating Parties shall no longer be deemed to be a party to the
Reorganization Agreement.

      3.   WAIVER.  Each of the Terminating Parties hereby waives any rights
that the Terminating Party has as of the date hereof by reason of the
Reorganization Agreement.

      4.   SEVERABILITY.  Any term or provision of this Second Amendment which
is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction will, as to such jurisdiction,
be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without
rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this
Second Amendment or affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the
terms or provisions hereof in any other jurisdiction.

      5.   COUNTERPARTS.  This Second Amendment may be executed in one or more
counterparts, each of which shall be considered an original and all of which,
when taken together, shall constitute one and the same instrument.

                                   Dated as of October 25, 1996


To the Persons Listed as Signatories

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     On February 20, 1996, the Company announced that it had engaged Hill
Thompson Capital Markets, Inc. as the Company's financial advisor to
explore strategic alternatives in order to maximize stockholder value,
including the possible merger or sale of all or part of the Company.

     Certain forms of sale of all or part of the Company might involve the
transfer of the common stock of the Company by you and other stockholders
who have certain rights under an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated
as of October 1, 1986, by and among the Company and certain stockholders,
as subsequently amended, by and among the Company and certain stockholders
(collectively, the "AGREEMENT").  The Company is sending this letter to
each of the parties of the Agreement but is only binding upon those parties
of the Agreement who execute it and return it to the Company.

     This letter will serve as the Company's notice to you that, subject to
the Waiver Conditions (as defined below), pursuant to Section 13(c) of the
Agreement, the Company waives its rights under Sections 5 and 6 of the
Agreement (concerning transfers of Company stock and the right of first
refusal) and consents (i) to the transfer of shares of Strober Stock (as
defined in the Agreement) by you in connection with any future transaction
between the Company and/or its stockholders and a third party (a
"TRANSACTION") and (ii) the grant of the irrevocable proxy by certain of
the Company stockholders pursuant to the Transaction.

     The Company hereby requests that, pursuant to applicable provisions of
the Agreement, you waive your rights under this Agreement and consent to
(i) the transfer of shares of Strober Stock (as defined in the Agreement)
by any other party to the Agreement in connection with any Transaction and
(ii) the grant of the irrevocable proxy by certain of the Company
stockholders pursuant to the Transaction.  Such waiver and consent shall be
effective only upon the occurrence of the following (the "WAIVER
CONDITIONS"):  (i) the Transaction, if any, shall have been consummated no
later than 5:00 p.m., New York time, on January 31, 1997; and (ii) pursuant
to such Transaction, each stockholder party to the Agreement shall receive
the same amount of consideration per share of common stock as any other
holder of common stock of the Company.
     By countersigning this letter and returning it to the Company at the
above address, you agree to: (i) waive your rights under the Agreement and
consent to transfers and grant of irrevocable proxies as described in the
immediately preceding paragraph; and (ii) maintain the confidentiality of
the existence of this letter and its contents.

     Upon receipt and confirmation of this letter by any of the parties
thereof, the Company will provide you with the signed waiver of each
stockholder party to the Agreement.  We appreciate your prompt attention to
this matter as we strive to increase the value of the Company to its
stockholders.

                                   Very truly yours,
