Yesterday afternoon I was dropping my husband off where he is a volunteer music teacher on Drouillard Road when we saw that a friend of his had a mishap with his wheelchair and was on the sidewalk unable to get back in his chair. Before I could stop the car so my husband could get out and help, an employee driving a Pronto Plumbing van put his four-ways on and ran across the street to assist. This gentleman helped my husband get his friend back in to the wheelchair and made sure he was okay. Thankfully no one was hurt and our friend was able to continue on with his evening.

I called the company last night to let them know what a fine employee they have working for them, and to ensure he got some recognition. I wasn't able to get his name, but was able to jot down the license and the company. The owner called me back and told me that while he is proud of his employee for stepping up, he would expect that of all the people in the company - it should be the human response.

We often hear about people passing by or not noticing when someone is in need, it is nice to see people in our community still do the right thing - as the owner of the company put it - "the human thing".

Bravo to Pronto Plumbing, and the gentleman who stopped to help. You have been spotted.

I know that if I need plumbing work done in the future, yours will be the first company I call.
