Dale Schroeder was a simple, humble man from Iowa, who ended up changing the lives of 33 people forever.
Schroeder worked as a carpenter at the same company for 67 years.
His friend Steve Nielsen described Schroeder as a "blue collar, lunch pail kind of guy.".
When he died in 2005, no one could have guessed how rich Schroeder really was.
He had no living descendants, so before he died, he went to his lawyer with a plan for his money.
Not only did Schroeder have enough money to send a few kids to college, he had enough saved to send dozens.
"You can't pay it back, because Dale is gone, but you can remember him and you can emulate him. »
