Life saver honoured JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
Bob Grimshaw is living proof of just how vital CPR is. The 78-year-old and his wife, Barbara, were bottling a batch of his favourite wine at the Armstrong Wine and Brew when a strange sensation came over Bob. “Bob was feeling faint,” said Barbara, recalling that unforgettable day – Sept. 9, 2011. “He just took a couple of steps and down he went (right in front of the bottling station).” Thankfully, Dave Garland was working that day. Even though Garland, a former volunteer firefighter, hadn’t practiced CPR in many years, he immediately initiated the life-saving technique on Bob after a pulse couldn’t be found. “I’m glad it came back and I’m glad Bob came back,” said Garland, 69, of Vernon.
Bob adds: “I am too.” For his heroic efforts that day, Garland was honoured with the Vital Link Award Monday. “Bystander CPR is the most important there is,” said Martin Hennigar, B.C. Ambulance Service Armstrong unit chief. “What Dave did is basically save (Bob’s) life.” Hennigar, the paramedic who responded to the 911 call, presented Garland the award in front of everyone who assisted that day – store owner Lisa Holmes who called 911, emergency medical dispatcher Denise Reimer who took the call, paramedic Lynne Chisholm who attended with Hennigar and the Wine and Brew staff who helped keep the situation calm. “It was a store effort,” said the speechless Garland as he was surprised with the honour Monday at the shop.
