Please except my sympathy on Martin's death. I worked with Martin at the Herty Foundation and enjoyed working with him. I also enjoyed seeing Florian when he came out with Dad to work. God bless you and your family.

We are friends of Florian. We did not have the opportunity of getting to know Dr. Schroeter very well but Florian has been in our life since the family moved here. He brings our newspaper to our door in the morning and rescues packages, etc, that accumulate around our mailbox. We also spend time with him at the Dog Park and Fitness Center where he is loved by everyone. He will always give you a rundown on the weather, the latest Landings news and what he is going to have for lunch. I feel sure that his Dad was proud of him.
