Suffolk man lucky to be alive after two Walmart employees perform CPR

But he's been told two quick thinking employees helped save his life. "I don't know what to say except for that I have another chance and I know that chance has everything to do with helping me," says Larry Vespa.

What a heart warming story. In this time we are living in when it seems like all the news is bad, people are killing one another and the lack of respect for each other is rare we need this. All is not lost and we still have a lot of good people in the world. We need more stories like that.

I was there, I'm actually the cart pusher shown in the video. and I watched everything after the fall go down. I saw the 2 associates fight to save his life, I was there when the paramedics did all they could. They pronounced him dead at the scene. While they were continuing vigorously performing CPR and doing all they could, God bless them, I just had to walk away because it was just too much for me to watch. Before the paramedics got there, I prayed for this man, and I prayed hard, that God would bring him back, unless it was his time to go. So after I walked away, they got a pulse and rushed him to the hospital. Ever since that day, I've been worrying and wondering how he's doing now. It's great to know he's still alive and well. God bless those 2 associates and the paramedics. But ultimately, the decision was God's. He has a huge purpose on this earth because he literally came back to life after shortly losing all signs of living. God bless this man.

Travis,

Thank you so much for your prayers. You just don't know how more in love with Jesus I am after reading your words. I know God has a plan for Larry that must be fulfilled. Too many people quit trying to save after one's been pronounced dead. The pharmacy told me there were two nurses who came to the rescue too. Larry and I would love to meet them. If they are reading these comments, God bless you both far more than you can ever ask or think. May he richly reward you for the love you showed in your care for a stranger. God bless you Travis.

Mr and Mrs Vespa...

I cannot tell you enough how much you have touched my life. I learned that life is not promised and can be taken away from you at any given moment... I know that God answers prayers and he truly did answer mine. Seeing you alive really meant alot to me. God has a plan for you!
I will continue to pray for you and that you will eventually remember everything in your life that has meant somethinng to you

GOD BLESS
JESSICA

God does change things and He does answer prayer. A prayer chain was started through email and people all over the world prayed for Larry. For sure, they didn't know Larry but they do know Jesus who is indeed the "Great Physician". Been in the medical field for many years and only Jesus placed Larry and those strangers together on that day. Thanks to all of you who had a part in performing CPR on Larry. You are already blessed in knowing that you helped save a life!!!
