SCHAEFFER BEER BREWING COMPANY, INC. iconic advertising slogan being “ONE BEER TO HAVE WHEN YOU’RE HAVING MORE THAN ONE”
The Schaeffer Beer man being my Grandfather who worked for the company 25 years as a NIGHT FOREMAN
A mover and shaker in results
My Grandfather was outspoken and didn’t play with his words that moved productivity in the Old Williamsburg Section of Brooklyn, NY
Nestled right at the river near the Williamsburg Bridge
My Grandfather took me on a tour once, and I met the staff he supervised.

I guess my Grandfather wanted to show off his Grandson
Inspiration in me is what determination satisfies
My Grandfather got things done
I am only sorry he is no longer among
He was a man of perseverance
My Grandfather was short, but don’t let his size fool you
Just like David from the Bible, no Goliath too big nor small would Intimidate him
As my Grandfather was capable and confident
He would have never retired, but SCHAEFFER relocated from Williamsburg to Allentown, PA

My Grandfather is my Hero
He taught me Typing and had me practice 4 hours every day
He even told me business principals and preparing for college
My Grandfather also had me incorporate words from the Thesaurus
Inspiration has followed me from then to now in my adulthood

Thanks to my Grandfather
There are times his wisdom guides me in assurance in carrying me through situations that I face
I owe my Grandfather the honor in my trace
Journey on in Heaven Pop.
