Miguel Patino

Mr. Patino was part of a team removing my huge, dead tree. He was near the top sawing off a branch when the rotted bottom of the tree gave way, and parts of it went in every direction. Mr. Patino grasped the trunk and rode it to the ground. He was pulled from the tree by paramedics who gave him oxygen, cps, and heart stimulation before transporting him to the hospital. Later we were shocked to learn that he died.

Also shown in the picture are Mr. Patino's stricken family members, five children and his widow. As they face the future without their father, they could use some help, please. His grieving children assured me that he was a wonderful dad.
