Hans Rose Legacy: A Life of Love, Resilience, and Generosity

On October 17, 2018, my father, Hans Rose, passed away peacefully at 9:30 a.m., leaving behind a powerful and inspiring Hans Rose legacy that continues to shape my life. In his final moments, he found the strength to say, “I love you, Tammy. They’re all waiting for me.” I knew exactly who he meant — his closest friends and his grandfather, Hermann Rose, waiting for him on the other side.

Early life and Family Roots

Hans Rose grew up in Granzow, Germany, enduring near-starvation after World War II. After spending two years in the Traunstein Refugee Camp, his family immigrated to America in 1957, seeking new opportunities and safety. These experiences shaped the Hans Rose legacy, instilling resilience and compassion that guided every aspect of his life.

The Buried Treasure Story That Lives On in the Hans Rose Legacy

One of my father’s favorite stories was about buried treasure — a tale he shared often and one that perfectly captures the spirit of the Hans Rose legacy. His storytelling, imagination, and love of history live on through moments like this.

Adventures and Memories That Shaped His Life

Travel was central to Hans Rose’s story. From magical trips to Disneyland in California to sharing stories about the Bahamas, he created lasting memories with family. His love of adventure is an integral part of the Hans Rose legacy.

Acts of Generosity and Service

Even before the Berlin Wall fell, Hans Rose returned to East Germany, bringing necessities to family and neighbors in need. His selfless actions and generosity are key pillars of the Hans Rose legacy.

73 Years Later: Finishing a Buried Treasure Family Journey

Growing up, my dad told me about an incredible buried treasure family journey — how my great-grandfather, Richard Pein, hid gold coins beneath his pig barn in Germany as WWII drew to a close. Now, 73 years later, I finally traveled to the house to see the legendary treasure site for myself.

Returning to My Ancestors’ Home in Germany

This trip wasn’t just about a legend — it was about connecting with my family’s history. Standing in the home where my ancestors once lived, and walking the ground they once walked, made the story feel real in a way I never imagined.

Discovering the Story Behind the Treasure

Visiting the house and speaking with the current homeowners gave me insight into my great-grandfather’s life and the community that witnessed the legend unfold. Each room, each piece of furniture, carried decades of memory and history — it was like stepping back in time.

PREVIEW

I had just finished my intense 16-week training at Quantico, Virginia and was given my first assignment as an official FBI agent. Oddly it would be the very town I grew up in, an assignment rarely given to a new agent. In fact, your hometown was the one place you could guarantee not going to, for fear of not blending in if needed to be on an undercover assignment. It was shortly after graduating from Plymouth High School when I realized what I wanted to do with my life, protect people. I had lost the one thing dear to me, my best friend Michele Saunders to a serial killer our senior year. I had thought the murders were all behind me, neatly tucked away in the past. However, a recent “accident” at Plymouth High School seemed all too real and the feds thought we may have another killer on our hands. What didn’t make sense to me was the fact that the feds thought it might be related to earlier killings in the late 1980’s. The murders were of young high school kids, made to look like accidents. But that killer was dead, I thought. I killed him. Or Didn’t I?
