A picture of an Appleton man sharing a beer with family, before his death, is getting worldwide attention.
The night before 87-year-old Norbert Schemm passed away, he had some beer from his hospital bed with his wife and three sons.
One of Schemm’s grandsons, Adam Schemm of Wauwatosa, decided to post it on Twitter and it went viral. The post has been retweeted more than 30,000 times, and there are more than 320,000 likes.
Schemm says seeing people’s comments restores his faith in humanity. He thinks they’re also an honor to his grandfather.
Media around the world have highlighted the picture.
