Mail carrier saves elderly Braintree man
A mail carrier is being credited with saving the life of an elderly man on his regular route, according to The Boston Herald.
U.S. Postal Service carrier Tom Balzano of South Weymouth told the Herald he usually delivers Social Security checks to the front door of a 67-year-old man living along his route. When the man wasn’t at the door to meet him on Friday, Balzano said he grew concerned.
“For some reason it clicked … that I should do something,’’ Balzano told the Herald. “And thank God I did.’’
Firefighters found the home’s resident barely responsive and rushed him to the hospital in critical condition, according to the Herald.
