Lowe's hardware store employee Jerry Breen was at the right place at the right time in Buffalo New York when he saw his colleague Jim Schroeder suffered a heart attack inside of the store on Tuesday November 18,
Jerry used cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on Jim when Jim needed help during his heart attack.
Officials from the American Heart Association gave Jerry the Heartsaver Hero Award on Wednesday in Buffalo with the relatives of Jim in attendance to thank Jerry for saving the life of a colleague at work.
