Our Roots
It all started at the barns. When Maurice “Shotsie” DeCock sold his land to Kelly Air Force Base, he moved his family to Castroville, TX and bought 285 acres to farm. They immediately erected a barn and lived in it for almost a year until their house was built in 1956.
It didn’t take long before Castroville knew the character named Shotsie DeCock. He never batted an eye when someone in the community asked to borrow his equipment or time. He was a local at Sammy’s Restaurant and the first person to show at your garage sale. Shotsie became the local sweetheart, his nickname, after all, means “sweetheart” in Flemish.
Shotsie was incredibly proud of his Belgian Heritage, his meticulous fields, and his family, but there was nothing he loved more than his Irene. Together they had eight children; Patsy, Michael, Kathleen, Mary, Maurice Jr., David, Frank, and Maureen. There are more memories and stories from the barns than could ever be shared, and we hope you all will continue to add to them.
Shotsie and Irene’s legacy will remain through the barns, as Schattenbol at DeCock Farm.
