Edward Bomba was helping direct traffic, and his group members were fixing a road on Walnut Street in Seymour. At that time, his heart shut down. Edward hit the ground. That's when USPS postman, Robert Dillon, saw him and started saving him. "People usually don't survive in that situation," said Edward's wife, Lisa Bomba. "I was sad, I was gone," Edward said.

Edward is a grandfather. He was in hospital for three days, but is on his road to get well again. He called Robert to thank him and told him "if it wasn't for you I wouldn't be here."

"To call him and say, 'Thank you' was like such an understatement (轻描淡写) because thank you isn't even enough," Lisa said. "I don't even think he realizes what he did. I mean he really saved his life."
