John Joseph Schlitt and Florence Miller on their wedding day, Oct. 10, 1923.
The Schlitts are a family most of us have heard or read about, know personally, or have done business with. Just look in the telephone directory and you’ll see their names listed under realtors, property managers, insurers, brokers, investors, developers, builders, architects, painters, electricians and interior designers. They list, sell, manage, design, decorate, arrange, advise, create, consult and construct; they repair the damaged and make the old new again. The Schlitts are your neighbors, your children’s classmates; they sit next to you at church and coach your son or daughter’s soccer team. Actively involved in service organizations, they reach out to support worthy causes by contributing their time and money.
