Two Strangers Shoveled Snow So an 82-Year-Old Could Bring Flowers to His Wife’s Memorial

82-year-old Bud Caldwell of Fond du Lac, Wisconsin lost his wife Betty two years ago, after 56 years together.  So he bought a bench at a local park, dedicated it in her memory, and visits it EVERY SINGLE DAY.

Each day, he brings her a daisy and a penny . . . which have to do with two of their favorite songs, “Pennies from Heaven” and“Daisy a Day”.

But after it snowed a few weeks ago, he couldn’t get to the bench.  Because either last year or the year before, he tried walking through the snow and fell.  And he didn’t want to risk it again, so he decided to sit in his car, and talk to her from there.

That’s when two park employees named Jerrod Ebert and Kevin Schultz found out about it . . . and started shoveling a PATH from his car the entire way to the bench.

Jerrod and Kevin say they both just knew they had to help Bud out.  And they told him they’ll make sure the path stays shoveled the rest of the winter.
