Park Employees Shovel Snow To Help This Man Reach His Wife's Memorial
FOND DU LAC, Wis.- Bud Caldwell has quite the daily routine. He calls it the best part of his day.
Rain or shine, Bud visits the bench that he bought and dedicated to his wife Betty, who passed away two years ago.
He tells her what's new in his life, and leaves a daisy and a penny behind.
A snowstorm two weeks ago blocked Bud's path to the bench.
But then, he got some help.
Two park employees saw Bud sitting in his car in front of the snow covered walkway.
"We gotta make sure he can get to his bench and talk to his wife," said one of the employees.
So they grabbed shovels and cleared a path.
It's a gesture bud won't soon forget.
"Two young men did such a nice thing for one old man," said Bud.
Since that day, bud hasn't lost the chance to tell Betty just how much he misses her.
