Growing up with Grandpa.
Grandpa Bob Schrohe and Grandma Virginia Schrohe. We’re always very secretive. He kept P.O. Boxes. And bars on his windows when we grew up.
He kept our family small. Just David my brother and I would visit him and grandma. Even all the summers when we stayed with them. It was just our small family. And my parents of course.
It’s like he knew there were criminals wanting to steal his and my grandparents life.

Which sadly later they did try Even taking my Grandmothers Wedding ring. Pretending to be a cousin. And so much more. Sadly they are not even buried next to each other. And the man who helped build the John Hancock would have definitely never want to be away from my Grandmother of 60 years.

I can tell you. He was a wonderful man. And worked diligently even making a patent for a crane seal. After he married my grandmother.

He never hurt a soul. And would only want his life to be private as he lived.

God Bless our small family. He cherished.
