My Uncle Ty passed away recently. He was a long haul trucker and was found on the side of the road by another trucker. They performed CPR on him and brought him back to life. They were there when the ambulance took him to the hospital. While most people would have left it at that thinking their duties were done, they did not. They went to the hospital and stayed with him. They talked to him and bought him a small stuffed animal. They were with him until he died. I truly appreciate the kindness they showed him. Here is the letter they wrote:
This is Marjorie Boozer my husband drives for sammons trucking out of missoula montana sunday morning we came upon one of your drivers by the name of Henery Tyson Jr. truck no:6698 his truck was in a ditch and was running and i opened the door and henery was on the floor half in the front and half in the back. he was not breathing and was purple in color there was no pulse at all. i began cpr on him and after about 6 times of sets of 3 he began to breathe. the police got there and the ambulance got there and i moved out of the way for them to move him out of the truck. i went to the hospitol in hugo colorado where they had taken Mr Tyson. I thought he was going to be okay and i was happy that i was granted the honor of bringing him back.after about an hour and half he started not breathing on his own again. i watch as they tried everything to bring him back. But he died. My heart was broken and still is. My name was the last name he heard. they told him just before he died that the lady semi truck driver that saved his life wanted to see him and he said okay. i walked in the room and went to stand by him to say hi and the next thing i know i was being told to leave. i watch thru the window and i seen that hospitol do everything possible to save him. his wife needs to know that Henery did not die in alot of pain. he went quitely there was no pain on his face and i kissed him on the forhead and gave him a ty monkey that i had bought him and put it in his arms tell his wife to please keep the monkey and put it in his casket for me from me and my husband if she would. if not for her to keep it. i am so sorry i tired he was with us for over an hour before he went home to be with Jesus. if she would like to talk with me give her my number please. hopefully i can go to his funeral. i would truly like to do that.plus everyone needs to know what henery did he got his truck off the road without even turning his load over of damageing his truck. it was a 2 lane road and Mr Tyson made sure that no one would get hurt. he drove his truck off the road to saftly. This man is a hero in my eyes. he made sure no one could get hurt even though he was sick. he made sure of that. His wife needs and should know this. He was and is a great truck driver to have put others safety first.marjorie boozerRonnie boozer[Contact information removed]My heart goes out to all that knew him.
