2/11/14 - A young hero whose persistence helped save the life of an elderly Howell woman who nearly froze to death after she slipped and fell in her garage has been recognized at the local government level. Without the quick actions of 10-year-old Danny DiPietro of Howell and his family, 80-year-old Kathleen St. Onge might not have lasted much longer in the extreme cold after she slipped and fell in her garage on a Saturday night in January. Danny had noticed something out of the corner of his eye and says something didnât feel right so he finally convinced his parents to check into it, which led them to discover St. Onge in her garage. Danny told WHMI the experience has taught him persistence can pay off and just glad he was able to help. He says all of the awards and events are fun - although he was a little nervous before last nightâs presentation. Mayor Phil Campbell tells WHMI it was a heartwarming story and itâs the good things that stay with us. He says Council was very happy recognize Danny as heroic virtue deserves to be honored publicly.
