"Back then, a Good Humor bar cost only 13 cents, but Schott is selling them for $5 because all profits benefit the Children's Specialized Hospital Foundation, which is based in Mountainside. Schott's friend, Charlie Newman, received care there. Schott's father, Joseph, who is now just days away from his 104th birthday, spent time doing science experiments and playing games with patients."
"Many people stopped by Monday to appreciate the snow incognito, but the grand opening happened Friday evening. Neighbor Lisa Hunt helped bring the event to life and said the line wrapped around the corner. "When everybody showed up and Robert was standing there, I thought this is what we did it for," Hunt said. Since that grand opening, Schott has raised more than $5,000 for Children's Specialized Hospital Foundation."
"On line were some of the children being cared for at Children's Specialized Hospital. "The delight the kids were getting -- kids with really difficult challenges in their lives and the parents who put so much out to care for their children -- that got to my heart," Robert Schott said."
Robert Schott built a Good Humor truck out of snow and parked it on his front lawn in Cranford. The 1953 Chevy replica is 99% snow with headlights, rims, and a front seat, and bears the license plate OHSOGOOD. Schott sells ice cream bars for $5 each, donating all profits to the Children's Specialized Hospital Foundation in Mountainside. A friend received care at the hospital, and Schott's father volunteered there decades earlier. The truck's grand opening drew long lines and community support. Schott has raised more than $5,000, and the sight of children and parents enjoying treats moved him and neighbors.
